Fibre optic cable HP HPE 2920 1.0 m — 1 m Black

Fibre optic cable HP HPE 2920 1.0 m — 1 m Black is a single-mode fibre patch cable designed for short-distance optical links between compatible HPE networking equipment. Branded by HP for use with the HPE 2920 series, this 1.0 m cable provides a compact black connection option for rack-mounted switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centres, server rooms and network closets. The cable supports reliable high-speed optical signalling where a short, low-loss link is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a standard 1.0 m length that simplifies neat cable runs in dense rack environments and reduces excess slack. Its single-mode construction minimises signal attenuation over short links and maintains stable optical performance with compatible HPE transceivers. The black jacket provides a discreet visual profile for organised installations and the cable is intended to meet the mechanical and optical tolerances expected in enterprise networking environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance fibre connections between HPE 2920 switches and transceivers
• Patch panel to switch or switch-to-switch optical links within a rack
• Data centre and server room fibre patching where a 1.0 m cable is required
• Network closets and distribution frames with limited space for cable routing

Key specifications

• Connector type: compatible with HPE transceiver interfaces (fiber optical connectors)
• Length: 1.0 metre
• Colour: black jacket
• Fibre type: single-mode optical fibre
• Typical application: short-reach optical patching in racks and cabinets

How to use

Inspect the cable ends and transceiver ports for dust or damage before installation. Align the connector with the transceiver port and insert gently until it seats; avoid forcing the connector. Route the cable following rack management paths, maintaining gentle bends and avoiding tight loops to prevent microbending loss. When replacing or removing the cable, pull from the connector body, not the fibre jacket, and store unused cables on appropriate reels or tie points to avoid kinks.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible HPE 2920 series transceivers and ports. Maintain clean connector endfaces using approved fibre cleaning tools and keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum specification to preserve optical performance. For high-density installations prefer labelled and routed patching to ease maintenance and troubleshooting.
