Aruba compatible JL307A Description
EdgeOptic's JL307A compatible is an HPE Aruba-coded version of the EdgeOptic 100G-PDAC-QSFP multi-vendor 100G QSFP28 passive direct attach copper cable, built in the 3 meter AWG28 twinax length. HPE Aruba assigns JL307A as the ordering code for this length within its 100G QSFP28 DAC family, which spans the same hardware from 0.5 to 5 meters in AWG30, AWG28 and AWG26 gauges depending on length. The cable terminates in a fixed QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connector pair in a point-to-point configuration, with no splitters or breakout at either end.
The underlying hardware supports a data rate envelope of 44.8 to 112.2 Gbps and covers 100G Ethernet (103.125 Gbps), 4x 32G Fibre Channel (112.2 Gbps) aggregate, and InfiniBand EDR (100 Gbps). Actual throughput on a given link depends on the host port's negotiated speed and protocol stack, so confirm the target HPE Aruba switch port configuration before ordering. The cable supports DDM/DOM per the product's diagnostic monitoring attribute.
Media is twinax copper throughout, with no optical components, lasers, or wavelength-dependent elements involved. The cable is rated for standard 0 to 70°C operating environments. It carries the QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8436, and SFF-8665 interface markings, IEEE 802.3ba and QDR InfiniBand compliance listings, and is CE and RoHS certified.
This 3 meter length suits rack-to-rack and adjacent-rack 100G interconnects within a single row, such as switch-to-switch leaf-spine links or server-to-switch runs using a 100GbE QSFP28 host adapter. Passive DAC keeps per-link cost and power draw low compared to optical transceivers over these short, fixed-infrastructure distances, which suits same-row, same-rack 100G connections in data centers and enterprise networks.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, this length is made to order, with a lifetime warranty included. For project-quantity pricing or an alternative length or vendor coding, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which HPE Aruba platforms support the JL307A 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 3m DAC?
Per the HPE Aruba AOS-S/AOS-CX Transceiver Guide, this 100G QSFP28 DAC family has been documented on platforms including the Aruba CX 8325, Aruba CX 10000, HPE SN3700M switches, and the HPE 100GbE 2-port QSFP28 MCX516A-CCHT adapter. HPE Aruba revises this guide periodically, so verify the specific model and firmware release against the current HPE Aruba transceiver guide before ordering.
What is the difference between JL307A and the other HPE Aruba 100G QSFP28 DAC lengths?
JL307A is the 3 meter length in HPE Aruba's 100G QSFP28 DAC family. HPE Aruba uses separate ordering codes for other lengths in this family; the underlying EdgeOptic hardware covers 0.5 to 5 meters across AWG30, AWG28, and AWG26 gauges depending on length. Confirm the exact length code against the applicable HPE Aruba quote or the current HPE Aruba transceiver/part guide before ordering, since swapping lengths can affect cable routing and slack management in the rack.
