HPE 1.6ft 100GBase Copper Cable QSFP28 to QSFP28

Overview

The HPE R1N34A is a 1.6-foot copper cable designed to deliver high-speed 100GBase data transfer between devices equipped with QSFP28 interfaces. It provides a direct connection with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, eliminating the need for additional transceivers and reducing latency. This cable is well suited for short-distance connections within racks or between closely positioned devices in data centers and enterprise networks, ensuring a clean and efficient cabling setup.

Built to meet the SFF-8665 standard, it guarantees compatibility with HPE Composable Fabric FM 3032Q and FM 3180 Front-to-Back Modules. Its RoHS compliance also reflects a commitment to environmental standards without compromising performance.
