Juniper Networks JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2.5M Compatible 25G SFP28 Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 2.5m (8ft)

With a fixed 2.5m (8ft) cable and SFP28 to SFP28, the JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2.5M compatible assembly simplifies 25G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Juniper Networks equipment.

Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.

The intended application is 25G Ethernet, Data Center, 5G Wireless. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8402, Infiniband, EIA 364-1000. 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 2.5m (8ft) version is useful when a two-metre run would leave insufficient working slack. Before installation, check the complete horizontal and vertical path so that JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2.5M reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2.5M occupies the middle of this family between JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2M at 2m (7ft) and JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-3M at 3m (10ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 21.25mm. 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2.5M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 2.5m (8ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Juniper Networks software can request a pre-order check.

Use part number JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2.5M for the 2.5m (8ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Every JNP-SFP-25G-DAC-2.5M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 2.5m (8ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
