Description

The SFP-H10GB-CUxM-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1M passive twinax direct attach cable. This cable provides plug-and-play compatibility with Cisco platforms equipped with 10G SFP+ ports, delivering reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections. - Compliant with 10GBASE-CU, SFF-8431, and SFF-8432 standards, ensuring interoperability with equipment from multiple vendors - Passive twinax copper cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, 30AWG construction for 1 to 3 meter lengths - Maximum power consumption of 0.1W per cable, eliminating the need for external power and reducing heat output compared to active cables - Available in seven lengths: 1M, 1.5M, 2M, 2.5M, 3M, 4M, and 5M to suit diverse rack configurations - Hot-swappable design allows installation and removal without interrupting network operations - Supports multi-rate operation from 1.0625 Gbps to 10.52 Gbps for 10G Ethernet and other high-speed applications

Features

• Compliant with SFF-8431 electrical signaling specification, guaranteeing signal integrity and low bit-error-rate performance at full 10.3125 Gbps line rate across all cable lengths
• Passive copper construction eliminates active electronics, delivering lower latency than active copper or AOC alternatives while maintaining low electromagnetic interference through twinax design
• Hot-swappable SFP+ form factor enables field installation and removal without powering down host equipment, supporting live network maintenance and troubleshooting
• Multi-rate capability supports 10G Ethernet (10.31 Gbps), Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps), and Fibre Channel applications within a single cable assembly
• Meets SFF-8432 mechanical and thermal specifications for module and cage compatibility, ensuring proper fit and thermal performance in high-density switch environments
• 30AWG gauge for 1M to 3M lengths provides optimal flexibility and minimal port stress in confined rack spaces, while 26AWG for 4M and 5M lengths maintains signal integrity over extended passive copper reach
• Commercial temperature range (0 to 70 degrees C) suits standard data center and wiring closet deployment conditions

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1M?
A: Yes. This cable is a drop-in replacement for the Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1M and the entire SFP-H10GB-CUxM family. It meets the same 10GBASE-CU standard, SFF-8431 electrical specification, and SFF-8432 mechanical specification, ensuring identical form factor, signal integrity, and data rate performance. The cable is plug-and-play compatible with Cisco platforms and requires no configuration changes.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this cable?
A: This cable is compatible with any Cisco platform equipped with 10G SFP+ ports that supports the original SFP-H10GB-CU series. This includes devices compliant with 10GBASE-CU and SFF-8431 electrical standards. Verify your specific platform supports passive twinax DAC cables at the required data rate, as compatibility depends on port type and NOS support rather than a specific switch model.

Q: What is the maximum reach for passive twinax at 10 Gbps, and can I use the 5M length for all deployments?
A: Passive twinax copper cables are rated for up to 5 meters at 10 Gbps under the 10GBASE-CU specification. All lengths from 1M to 5M are supported for full-rate 10G Ethernet. Shorter lengths (1M to 3M) use 30AWG construction and offer tighter bend radius and lower port stress. Longer lengths (4M and 5M) use 26AWG to maintain signal integrity at extended reach. Choose the shortest length that meets your physical requirements.

Q: Does this cable support auto-negotiation, and can it operate at speeds below 10 Gbps?
A: Yes. This cable supports multi-rate operation from 1.0625 Gbps to 10.52 Gbps. It will work for 10G Ethernet (10.31 Gbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 Gbps) applications. Speed negotiation is controlled by the host switch or router SFP+ port. If your platform allows manual or automatic rate selection, the cable will adapt to the configured speed. Passive copper does not include active electronics, so all rate control is host-driven.

Q: What are the advantages of passive twinax over active copper or AOC cables for 10G links?
A: Passive twinax offers the lowest latency of any 10G interconnect type because there are no active signal conditioning or retiming circuits in the cable. It also consumes the least power (0.1W maximum) and generates minimal heat, which is critical in high-density switch environments. Passive cables have no active electronics to fail, resulting in higher long-term reliability. The trade-off is reach: passive twinax is limited to 5 meters, while active copper can extend to 10 or 15 meters and AOC can reach beyond 100 meters.
