Direct-attach SFP+ cable for 10 GbE links

This one-metre passive copper twinax cable connects two SFP+ ports at 10 Gb/s. It is programmed and serialized for full compatibility with Meraki now Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M equipment. The assembly is tested for data traffic and application compliance before shipment. TAA-compliant versions can be supplied on request.

Passive design means no heat or noise

Because the cable uses passive copper, it draws no power and generates no heat of its own. There are no active electronics to fail or produce audible noise. The 3.28 ft length keeps signal loss within the 10GBase-CU reach specification. MSA standards compliance ensures reliable operation across supported switches and adapters.

Black SFP+ ends lock into standard cages

Each end terminates in a black SFP+ connector that latches securely into any compliant cage. The direct-attach form factor removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Cable stiffness is typical for twinax, so allow a gentle bend radius when routing in dense panels. The passive construction means no firmware updates are ever required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFP+ twinax cable and what step is often missed?

Insert each SFP+ connector into a compatible port until the latch clicks; the step often missed is verifying the latch is fully engaged on both ends before cabling.

What maintenance or replacement will the passive copper twinax cable need over time?

No active components require servicing; replace the cable only if the copper twinax shows physical damage or the SFP+ latches fail to hold.

What limit appears first when running 10GBase-CU traffic continuously over the 1.00m passive link?

The 1.00m maximum reach of the passive copper design is the first limit; longer distances need active or optical cables.
