HP compatible JL283A Description
EdgeOptic's JL283A compatible is the HPE-equivalent build of the EdgeOptic 100G-PDAC-QSFP-SFP multi-vendor QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 passive breakout cable. It matches HPE's own Networking X240 QSFP28 4xSFP28 3m Direct Attach Copper Cable listing, a 3 meter Twinax breakout that splits one 100G QSFP28 port into four independent SFP28 lanes. HPE documents this build for use with selected HPE networking products.
The cable is a passive design, so no signal retiming or amplification sits between the QSFP28 end and the four SFP28 ends. Link quality depends on the host ports at both ends supporting matching electrical signaling and lane speed.
The underlying hardware supports a data rate envelope of 44.8 to 112.2 Gbps across the four SFP28 lanes, covering 100G Ethernet at 103.125 Gbps, 4x 32G Fibre Channel at 112.2 Gbps aggregate, and InfiniBand EDR at 100 Gbps. Actual throughput depends on how the host QSFP28 port and the four SFP28 ports negotiate speed and protocol. The cable supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM).
Compliance covers the QSFP28 and SFP28 Multi-Source Agreements, the SFF-8665, SFF-8402 and SFF-8431 signaling specifications, QDR InfiniBand and InfiniBand EDR, plus CE and RoHS marking.
Operating temperature is rated 0 to 70 degrees Celsius, the standard commercial range for this cable family. This SKU is made to order. For volume pricing or an alternative HPE ordering code, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the HPE JL283A and the HPE 845418-B21?
Both are HPE QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 passive breakout direct attach copper cables built on the same design. The JL283A is HPE's 3 meter version. The 845418-B21 is HPE's 5 meter version. Choose the length that matches the physical run between the QSFP28 host port and the four SFP28 destination ports.
Which HPE platforms support the JL283A direct attach copper cable?
HPE's FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series product information report lists JL283A in its direct attach cable table. HPE does not publish one complete cross platform list covering every switch that accepts this cable, so verify against the platform information report or QuickSpecs for the specific chassis and firmware release before ordering.
