A 3 m copper DAC for verified HPE Aruba-compatible links

10GBASE-CR3 mPassive SFP+

BlueLAN R9D20A-BL, marketed through BlueOptics, is a passive twinax copper direct-attach cable with SFP+ connectors at both ends. Its 3 m, 30 AWG construction is specified for 10GBASE-CR links up to 10 Gbit/s. It is a compatible alternative to the HPE Aruba R9D20A cable reference.

Compatibility — check before buying:
Check both device models, firmware and passive-DAC support against the relevant compatibility information. A physical SFP+ slot alone does not establish support. The manufacturer limits the compatibility claim to hardware that supports the original HPE Aruba R9D20A reference; this is not an original HPE-branded cable.

Key Features

 
One direct-attach assembly
SFP+ ends are attached to the copper cable, giving a single short-distance link assembly without an optical fibre run.
 
Passive copper construction
The host equipment must support passive DAC operation. The verified variant is 30 AWG twinax copper, not an active optical cable.
 
Defined rack distance
A 3 m cable suits a measured short route within or between nearby racks. Check the actual route and connector access before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original HPE Aruba cable?
No. R9D20A-BL is the BlueLAN/BlueOptics compatible alternative. R9D20A is the HPE Aruba reference used to define its intended platform compatibility.
Is it fibre optic or a passive copper DAC?
The exact manufacturer page specifies a passive twinax copper DAC with SFP+ ends. The temperature range is 0 to +70 °C.
Will it work in any SFP+ port?
Do not assume that. Verify that both devices support passive SFP+ DAC links and the HPE Aruba R9D20A cable reference, with the relevant firmware and port configuration.
Singular Expert Insight
Confirm the cable reference on both endpoints, then measure the routed distance including management bends and connector clearance. Choose a different verified length or optical solution when 3 m does not suit the route. Compare SAS and DAC cables

Buyer’s Guide

Buy it if

Both endpoints explicitly support the compatible R9D20A passive DAC reference and the measured route fits 3 m.

Skip it if

You need an original HPE part, an optical or active cable, a longer route, or unverified platform compatibility.

Also consider

A verified DAC of another length, an original vendor cable when required, or suitable optical transceivers and fibre for longer links.
