HP E3D93A — 1.5 m SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable (Cable Type Partly Unconfirmed)
Identity
This listing is for an HP part carrying the printed part number E3D93A. Resellers identify it consistently as a 1.5 m SFP+ direct attach copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, and one source cross-references the cable assembly number 10124907-2015LF. No HPE QuickSpecs entry or other official HP documentation naming E3D93A was located during research, so both the length and the cable class rest on reseller consensus rather than vendor documentation. T.E.S measures the cable, photographs its markings and confirms the exact part before dispatch.
What is confirmed about E3D93A
The printed part number is E3D93A, an HP part number.
Reseller listings describe it consistently as an SFP+ direct attach copper cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends.
The length quoted consistently across those listings is 1.5 m (approximately 5 feet).
One source cross-references the cable assembly number 10124907-2015LF for this part.
Direct attach copper means the transceiver ends are permanently attached to the cable — it is a fixed assembly, not a transceiver plus a separate fibre patch lead.
What is not yet confirmed
This list is deliberate. It is what T.E.S could not establish from documentation, and it is read off the physical unit before dispatch rather than guessed at here.
The rated speed and class. SFP+ DAC cables are commonly 10 GbE, but SFP-family DACs also exist at other rates and coded for specific platforms. T.E.S located no HP QuickSpecs entry for E3D93A confirming the rate, so it is not asserted here.
Passive or active. Passive and active DAC assemblies of the same length behave differently on marginal links and draw different power. The part number does not settle it.
Wire gauge, which affects bend radius and reach.
Which HP switch or server family the cable is coded for. HP DAC cables frequently carry platform-specific EEPROM coding, and a cable coded for one HP platform may be rejected by another vendor's switch or by a different HP family.
Whether the length is exactly 1.5 m as marketed. T.E.S measures the physical cable before dispatch and will tell you the measured length.
Request label photos before you order
Ask us for photographs of this unit's product label and we will send them before you commit to anything. This is a single cable. Ask us and we will measure it end to end and photograph the printed markings on both boots — part number, length and any rate or platform coding — before you order. If the label does not match what is described on this page, we say so and re-quote or cancel — we do not ship a substitute and hope it fits. Quote part number E3D93A when you contact us.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly am I buying with E3D93A?
A refurbished HP cable whose printed part number is E3D93A. Resellers identify it consistently as a 1.5 m SFP+ direct attach copper cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, with cable assembly number 10124907-2015LF cross-referenced by one source. T.E.S located no HP QuickSpecs entry for E3D93A, so the rate, the passive-versus-active question and the platform coding are not established and are read off the cable before dispatch.
Is E3D93A a 10GbE cable?
Probably, but not confirmed on this page. SFP+ direct attach copper is most commonly a 10 GbE format, but SFP-family DAC assemblies exist at other rates and coded for specific platforms, and no HP documentation naming E3D93A was located to confirm the rate. Ask us for photographs of the printed markings before ordering if the rate is load-bearing for your design.
Will E3D93A work in my switch?
Check before you order. HP direct attach copper cables frequently carry platform-specific EEPROM coding, and a cable coded for one HP family can be rejected by another vendor's switch or even by a different HP platform. Tell us the switch and server you are connecting and we will photograph the cable's markings so you can check compatibility before committing.
Will T.E.S confirm the exact cable before shipping E3D93A?
Yes, as a standard dispatch step. We measure the cable end to end, read the printed part number and any rate or platform coding on both boots, and confirm the connector type. If the measured length or the coding is not what you need, we say so and cancel or re-quote before shipping.
Is the E3D93A cable tested?
It is cleaned, visually inspected — connector pins, boot strain relief and jacket condition — and link-tested where a suitable test topology is available. For a DAC assembly that is a continuity and link-up check, not a certified signal-integrity sweep. Ask what was done to this specific cable and we will tell you.
Is E3D93A an SFP28 or QSFP cable?
No. It is an SFP+ assembly. SFP, SFP+, SFP28 and the QSFP family are distinct connector and signalling generations and are not freely interchangeable — an SFP+ cable will not serve a QSFP, QSFP28 or QSFP-DD port. Check your port type before ordering, and ask us for connector photographs if there is any doubt.
Why T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS
T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS supplies refurbished enterprise networking and server hardware from EU stock to a B2B market. On OEM service parts whose exact model is not established by the part number alone, we publish what we can verify and name what we cannot, instead of filling the gap with plausible-sounding specifications. Every unit is photographed and its label read before dispatch. If the unit differs from this page, we tell you before we ship. See tes-itsolutions.com.
