The HPE JL283A is a three-meter direct attach copper cable designed to link a single QSFP28 port with four SFP28 ports in one quick step. It gives you a straightforward way to break out high-speed switch ports to individual server, storage, or uplink connections without the cost or complexity of fiber.
In a busy data center rack, every inch and every watt count. This cable draws no extra power and avoids the need for separate transceivers, so it helps keep power budgets and thermal loads under control. At roughly ten feet long, it reaches comfortably from a top-of-rack switch to equipment in the same rack or an adjacent cabinet, making it ideal for short-distance backbone links, hyperconverged nodes, or clustered database servers that must talk to the network at full speed.
Compatibility is assured with HPE FlexFabric platforms such as the 12902E and 5940 series, letting network teams standardize on one reliable breakout cable across multiple switch models. The low-profile connectors slide easily into dense switch line cards, and the cable’s manageable one-pound weight makes routing through cable managers or overhead trays simple for a single technician.
Whether you are upgrading an existing HPE environment or building out a new leaf-spine fabric, the JL283A offers a clean, plug-and-play path to four independent links while keeping installation time and ongoing maintenance to a minimum.
