HPE H3C JG326A Compatible 40G QSFP+ Passive Copper Cable, 1m (3ft)

The HT-manufactured JG326A compatible cable provides 40G connectivity for HPE H3C equipment. This 1m (3ft) version is a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

OEM Part Number: JG326AHT Part Number: JG326A

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to HPE H3C JG326A
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), JG326A
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 35mm

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 35mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

At 1m (3ft), JG326A is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

JG326A is the shortest of 2 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is JG327A at 3m (10ft), adding 2m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFF-8436, QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with JG326A, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 1m (3ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new HPE H3C software can request a pre-order check.

This product is ordered as JG326A in 1m (3ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, JG326A and the 1m (3ft) length for easier inventory control.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
