HPE JD097C

Overview

The HPE JD097C is a 3-meter direct attach copper (DAC) cable featuring SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed to establish reliable 10 gigabit connections between network devices. It is ideal for linking switches, servers, or storage arrays within the same rack or adjacent racks, providing high bandwidth without the added cost or complexity of fiber optics. The cable’s copper construction eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules, simplifying installation and reducing expenses.

With a length just under 10 feet, it offers sufficient slack for neat cable management while maintaining strong signal integrity and low latency. This makes it a practical solution for data centers, server rooms, and campus network closets where efficient, high-speed connectivity is essential.

Key features

• SFP+ male connectors on both ends enable direct 10G networking without additional transceivers
• Three meter length suits short distance connections within or between racks, balancing flexibility and performance
• Copper cable design reduces total cost by removing the need for separate transceiver modules
• Supports 10 gigabit data rates to handle high bandwidth demands in enterprise environments
• Lightweight at approximately 0.45 kg, making it easy to handle during installation and maintenance
• Compact dimensions (26 x 33.5 x 5.6 cm) facilitate storage and inventory management

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device equipped with SFP+ ports that support 10G direct attach copper connections. It works well for connecting top-of-rack switches, high throughput servers, and storage nodes within high-performance clusters. The direct plug-in design ensures straightforward integration without the need for additional adapters or transceivers, streamlining network setup and reducing points of failure.

Ideal uses and environments

The HPE JD097C fits well in data centers and server rooms where short distance, high-speed connections are required between devices in the same or adjacent racks. It is a strong choice for enterprise networks that demand reliable 10G links for traffic aggregation, server-to-core fabric connections, or storage cluster interlinks. Its robust construction and manageable length make it suitable for environments where cable management and signal integrity are priorities.

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.
