## Long description

The StarTech.com JD096C 1.2m Direct Attach Cable is a passive Twinax copper SFP+ cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Compatible with HPE JD096C and other MSA-compliant SFP+ ports, this low-power, low-latency cable is intended for short-distance, point-to-point connections between switches, servers or in-rack network devices. The cable is hot-swappable and comes with StarTech.com's lifetime warranty and multilingual technical support.
Advantages

Its Twinax copper construction supports reliable point-to-point connectivity for in-rack or adjacent-rack connections. The cable is hot-swappable to simplify upgrades and replacements and is manufactured and tested to meet MSA industry standards for compatibility with HPE-branded equipment.
Suitable for
 Short-distance 10G links between servers and switches
 In-rack or adjacent-rack point-to-point connections

How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port on the corresponding network devices (switch, router or server) until it latches. Because the cable is passive and hot-swappable, it can be installed or removed while devices are powered on, though following your site change-control practices is recommended. Verify link status on both devices after installation to confirm the 10 Gbps connection.
Usage recommendations
Use this 1.2 m passive Twinax DAC for short-reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid using passive Twinax cables for longer runs beyond the manufacturer's recommended distance; for longer distances or where electrical isolation is required, consider fiber-optic SFP+ modules and appropriate patch cords.
