Direct-attach twinax cable for 10 GbE links

This 9.84 ft SFP+ to SFP+ twinax cable provides a passive copper connection for 10GBase-CU ports. It is programmed and serialized for full Meraki now Cisco MA-CBL-TA-3M compatibility and meets MSA standards. The black cable initialises identically to the original part and carries a 3.00 m maximum reach. TAA-compliant versions are available.

Suited for Meraki or Cisco 10 GbE uplinks

Network engineers linking switches, routers or servers with matching SFP+ ports will find this cable a direct replacement. Buyers needing longer reach, active optics or a different vendor coding should look at other options. The passive design requires no external power and installs without configuration.

10GBase-CU passive copper with 3.00 m reach

The single specification that decides fit is the 10GBase-CU passive copper construction limited to a 3.00 m (9.84 ft) link distance. Only devices with SFP+ ports supporting this exact standard and reach will operate correctly.

Questions about this item

Will this 10GBase-CU SFP+ cable link with an older 1 Gb SFP port on my switch?

No, the cable is built for 10GBase-CU SFP+ ports only and will not negotiate down to 1 Gb speeds.

How can I confirm the cable is operating correctly once installed?

The link LEDs on both SFP+ ports should light solid green and the switch should report a 10 Gb/s connection with no CRC errors.

Does the 9.84 ft twinax cable ship with any extra adapters or mounting hardware?

Only the passive copper SFP+ to SFP+ cable itself is included; no adapters, brackets or screws are supplied.
