HPE part number 8121-1694 is a 5-meter direct attach copper (DAC) cable for high-speed data center interconnect. It features QSFP28 connectors on both ends, supporting 100G Ethernet throughput. The cable is compatible with HPE switches, storage systems, and servers equipped with QSFP28 ports, including ProLiant Gen10 and later servers and Arista, Mellanox, and Cisco infrastructure when endpoints support the standard. Typical applications include top-of-rack switching, storage area network (SAN) fabric links, and GPU interconnect within enterprise data centers where passive copper connectivity reduces latency and power consumption compared to optical transceivers. The 5m length accommodates medium-distance intra-cabinet and adjacent-cabinet runs.
