HP K2Q22A StoreFabric C-Series 5M Passive Copper SFP+ Cable delivers direct-attach connectivity for high-speed SAN and data center environments. This passive copper DAC (Direct Attach Cable) measures 5 meters in length and terminates with SFP+ connectors on both ends, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. Rated for 10 Gbps operation, it is compatible with HP StoreFabric switches and other standards-compliant 10GbE infrastructure including Cisco, Brocade, and most third-party SFP+ ports. The passive design provides low latency and reduced power consumption compared to active alternatives, making it ideal for rack-to-rack interconnects, storage array connectivity, and short-run fabric links in blade center and modular environments.Typical deployments include SAN consolidation, server-to-storage traffic, and inter-switch trunking where run lengths under 10 meters are acceptable. The robust shielded construction supports continuous operation in standard data center conditions. Tested and guaranteed, available via quote.
