Overview

The FluxLight J9281B-FL is an HP J9281B compatible 10G SFP+ passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable, 1m (3.3 ft) long. It joins two SFP+ ports for 10 Gigabit Ethernet between switches, servers and storage in the same or the next rack.

Both ends of the J9281B-FL are coded for HP, and it works in the HP ports that take the J9281B. Platform Support lists the 26 HP platforms it is supported on, with the minimum software for each.

It is built to the SFP+ MSA (SFF-8431) and is passive: the cable has no electronics to boost the signal, which keeps cost and latency low on short links. It uses 30 AWG twinax copper.

FluxLight guarantees it is compatible with HP and covers it with a 10-year warranty.

Applications

ESD

The cable assembly's electrical pins are rated Class 1 (>2000 V) for electrostatic discharge per MIL-STD-883C Method 3015.7. Normal ESD precautions are still required during handling. The cable is shipped in ESD-protective packaging and should be removed from it and handled only in an ESD-protected environment.
