Why Choose This Product?

• Exact 12M reach: A practical choice when 10M is insufficient but 15M would add unnecessary cable length.
• 100Gb fabric connectivity: Built for the 100Gb QSFP28 OPA environment rather than generic low-speed networking.
• HPE-specified part number: Simplifies enterprise procurement, asset records and replacement identification.
• Validated OPA cable: HPE lists the model within its validated and supported Omni-Path cable portfolio. 
• Optical architecture: Suits longer OPA connectivity requirements where optical cabling is the appropriate cable technology.
• Consistent family selection: Procurement teams can select 10M, 12M, 15M or other HPE OPA lengths according to actual rack and fabric layout requirements. 
• Deployment-focused specification: The combination of 100Gbps, QSFP28, OPA and 12M length gives buyers the critical identifiers needed to validate an exact cable requirement.
• Reduced compatibility uncertainty: Using the HPE-listed part number helps avoid substituting an unspecified generic 100Gb optical cable into a supported OPA deployment.
