Compatible JL284A are an equivalent solution for overpriced original JL284A from HPE, which primarily serve as a margin product for the manufacturer, filling the pockets of the company at your expense. As today's standard for the transmission of electrical signals in a network, for example in a data center, compatible HPE JL284A Direct Attach Cables (DAC) provide a way to build high-availability connections in high-speed networks on short distances without having to compromise the arbitrary HPE price policy of the large world conglomerates. A HPE compatible JL284A offers the same range of functions as an original JL284A and differs only in the product label. The technical set-up of HPE compatible JL284A and of original JL284A is the same as defined by MSA standards. Only the quality of the installed components can vary. HPE compatible JL284A from the brand BlueLAN use only high-quality brand cables (such as Belden, Molex or TE Connectivity) and high-quality ICs (such as Maxim Integrated or Netlogic) and therefore have the same quality or even a better quality as the original JL284A from HPE.
