HPE QK733A

Overview

The HPE QK733A is a 2 meter fiber optic patch cable designed to connect LC-equipped ports using OM4 multi-mode fiber. It provides reliable, high-speed data transmission for short-distance links between switches, servers, or storage arrays located within the same rack or in adjacent cabinets. Its slim 1.6 mm jacket and 7.5 mm bend radius rating allow it to navigate tight spaces without compromising signal quality, making it ideal for dense networking environments.

Key features

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to work seamlessly with HPE and Aruba networking gear, including switches, servers, and storage arrays that use LC connectors and SFP transceivers. Its OM4 multi-mode fiber supports high-speed data transfer in both Ethernet and Fibre Channel environments, making it a versatile choice for data centers and lab setups.

Installation and setup

The slim profile and flexible design of the cable simplify installation in crowded racks and cable management systems. Its 7.5 mm bend radius rating helps prevent damage when routing through tight corners or dense cable trays, ensuring consistent performance without signal degradation. This makes it a practical option for both new installations and upgrades in existing network infrastructures.

Ideal uses and environments

This patch cable fits well in data centers, server rooms, and lab environments where short-distance, high-bandwidth connections are needed between network devices. It is particularly suited for top-of-rack switch connections, patch panel setups, and any scenario requiring clean, clutter-free cabling in confined spaces. Network administrators looking for a reliable, flexible cable to maintain signal integrity in tight areas will find this model a strong choice.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
