HPE R1N34A

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.

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.
