Know before you buy
While this cable is specifically optimized for seamless integration with HP systems, it is built to MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards. This means it should function with other MSA-compliant hardware, though performance may vary depending on the specific equipment requirements.
Passive copper cables are more energy-efficient because they do not require active components to signal, which also helps reduce overall heat generation in your rack. They are an ideal, cost-effective solution for short-reach connections up to 5 meters.
Yes, this cable is engineered to maintain reliable 40Gbps data transfer rates across its entire 5-meter (16.4-foot) length, ensuring consistent performance for high-capacity networking tasks.
Yes, this product is TAA compliant, making it eligible for purchase by government agencies and federal contractors that require products manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries.
This AddOn cable comes with a limited lifetime warranty. This provides long-term protection against manufacturing defects and ensures the reliability of your network connection.
