AddOn SFP-H10GB-CU5M-AO network ethernet cable

5-metre 10GBase-CU SFP+ DAC

The AddOn SFP-H10GB-CU5M-AO is a five-metre passive twinaxial direct-attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. It provides a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link without the cost or power draw of optical transceivers. The cable is TAA compliant and built to work with Cisco-compatible equipment.

Suitable for short rack links, not long runs

This cable suits administrators connecting switches, servers or storage inside a single rack or adjacent racks where the five-metre reach is sufficient. Buyers who need longer distances, fibre isolation or active signal conditioning should look at alternative media.

10 Gigabit passive twinax specification

The single deciding specification is the 10 Gigabit passive twinax construction, which locks the link to a fixed five-metre reach and requires SFP+ ports that support direct-attach copper. Verify port compatibility before purchase.
