The HPE 17-05405-01 (SPS-CA, 2.0M 4G COPPER, FC) is a 2.0 meter 4G Fibre Channel copper cable designed for short-run SAN and storage connectivity where consistent signal integrity and dependable physical handling matter. It is a practical choice for linking Fibre Channel ports between storage infrastructure components in racks, cabinets, and adjacent equipment areas.
This cable is typically used alongside HPE Fibre Channel connectivity components such as NETWORK ADAPTER and NETWORK MODULE, and it can also be part of end-to-end paths that terminate on an HPE SWITCH in your fabric. For teams standardising on HPE parts, it helps keep builds consistent across installs and maintenance stock.
Key Features
Key technical characteristics for planning and maintenance in Fibre Channel environments:
- 4G Fibre Channel copper cable construction to support reliable FC connectivity in short-distance deployments.
- 2.0 meter length to suit in-rack and adjacent-rack patching without excessive slack.
- HPE spare part number 17-05405-01 to simplify matching against BOMs and maintenance documentation.
- Designed for Fibre Channel interconnects to help maintain stable links between FC-capable devices.
- Copper media format to provide a robust, easy-to-handle option for short runs compared to optical cabling.
- Compatible with HPE Fibre Channel SAN environments, for example HPE storage arrays and FC fabric components that use 4G FC copper interconnects.
- Suitable for use with common HPE FC-capable platforms and families, such as HPE MSA/3PAR-era FC-connected deployments and HPE BladeSystem/ProLiant environments equipped with FC connectivity.
- Enterprise deployment suitability to support 24/7 operation expectations in data center and server room installations.
Refurbished Quality and Warranty
This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished cabling and spares are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing Fibre Channel environments, keep legacy infrastructures serviceable, and reduce electronic waste while controlling budget compared to buying new.
All products include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware, shipping worldwide from Denmark, supporting integrators and maintenance providers sourcing dependable HPE spares such as HPE components.
