Description

This is a passive 3 m copper direct attach cable from the HPE BladeSystem c-Class 40Gb QSFP+ range, with a QSFP+ connector at each end. It links 40GbE QSFP+ ports on HPE servers, switches and interconnect modules without separate transceivers, which suits short-reach links in the data centre such as connecting BladeSystem or Synergy interconnect modules to top-of-rack switches, or running server-to-switch and inter-switch links within a rack or to adjacent racks.

The cable is 3 m (9.84 ft) long and passive, so it needs no external power and draws 0.042 W maximum per transceiver end. It is rated for operation from 0 to 70 C, with 100 ohm characteristic impedance, a bit error rate of 10^-15 maximum and a time delay of 1.35 nsec/ft. The 3 m length sits between the 1 m and 5 m options in the same cable family, so it suits links that need a little more reach than a short in-rack run.

It is validated for use with HPE servers, switches and interconnect modules that have 40Gb QSFP+ ports, and is also listed as a related option for the HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 Switch Module.

FAQs

Q: Does this cable need a separate transceiver?
A: No. It is a passive direct attach copper cable with QSFP+ connectors built into each end, so no separate transceivers are needed.

Q: Does it need external power?
A: No. It is a passive cable and draws 0.042 W maximum per transceiver end from the port.

Q: Which HPE equipment is it validated for?
A: It is validated for HPE servers, switches and interconnect modules with 40Gb QSFP+ ports, and is listed as a related option for the HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 Switch Module.

Q: What other lengths are in this cable family?
A: The same family includes 0.35 m (730907-B21), 1 m (720196-B21) and 5 m (720202-B21) QSFP+ to QSFP+ cables, alongside this 3 m (720199-B21) version.

Q: What is a typical use for the 3 m length?
A: It suits short-reach 40GbE links, such as connecting BladeSystem or Synergy interconnect modules to top-of-rack switches, or linking servers and switches within a rack or between adjacent racks.
