HPE X260 Router Cable Mini D-28 to 4 RJ-45 1ft

Overview

The HPE JG263A is a specialized router cable designed to connect a single Mini D-28 port to four RJ-45 interfaces, providing a streamlined solution for expanding network connections in compact spaces. Measuring just one foot in length, it fits neatly into crowded racks, wiring closets, or test benches, helping maintain clear airflow and easy access for maintenance. This cable is ideal for use with HPE FlexNetwork hardware, enabling efficient management of multiple devices from a single connection point.

Key features

• Compact one-foot length minimizes cable clutter and improves airflow in dense network environments
• Branches a Mini D-28 connector into four RJ-45 connectors, allowing multiple network links from one port
• Optimized for seamless compatibility with HPE FlexNetwork routers and switches
• Short cable runs reduce signal loss and keep setups tidy in tight spaces
• Molded connectors and durable jacket provide strong strain relief for reliable performance during frequent moves or reconfigurations
• Plug and play installation requires no adapters, power, or special tools, simplifying setup and maintenance

Key specs

• Compatibility: Designed for HPE FlexNetwork routers and switches
• Construction: Molded connectors with strain relief and durable jacket

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is tailored for network environments that use Mini D-28 ports, commonly found on HPE FlexNetwork devices. It effectively fans out a single Mini D-28 connection into four RJ-45 ports, which are standard for Ethernet networking. This makes it a practical choice for branch routers, edge switches, or lab equipment that require multiple RJ-45 connections from a single management or console port.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward and user-friendly. Simply plug the Mini D-28 connector into the host device and route the four RJ-45 connectors to their respective network devices. The cable’s short length and molded design reduce the risk of tangling or damage, making it easy to manage in tight racks or wiring closets without the need for additional adapters or power sources.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable works well in environments where space is limited and cable management is critical, such as top-of-rack switch setups, crowded wiring closets, or test benches. It suits IT professionals managing multiple network devices in branch offices or labs who need a reliable, compact solution to expand connectivity without adding clutter or compromising airflow.
