HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 86

A customer is moving a server from a co-location facility back into their existing data center to comply with new internal policies on data management.
Due to budget constraints, the customer cannot purchase any additional switches and will need to use an existing end-of-row design with HPE FlexFabric switches. While the server will be installed six racks away from the switches, the total cable run with cable management is expected to be 35 m.
Which component should be selected when designing the 10 Gbps connectivity option for the server?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The SFP+ Active Optical Cable is ideal for this scenario as it supports 10 Gbps connectivity over longer distances, such as 35 meters, which is essential given the distance from the switches. Other options like the Direct Attach Copper Cable may not reach this distance effectively, while the other optical cables may not be compatible with the existing HPE FlexFabric switches.
