10 GbE Direct-Attach Cable

This twinaxial cable connects two SFP+ ports at 10 Gb/s over a 9.84 ft run. It is built for network operators who need a low-latency link between switches or servers without the cost of optics. The passive copper assembly is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 2960, 2960G, 2960S, Nexus 93180, 9336, 9372 and UCS 6140 platforms.

Passive Cooling and Low Power

Because the cable contains no active electronics, it draws negligible power and generates no heat of its own. There are no fans or onboard circuitry to create acoustic noise, so the link adds nothing to the thermal budget of a rack. The SFF-8436 compliant construction meets IEEE 802.3ae electrical limits for reliable operation.

Rack-Friendly Copper Interconnect

Male SFP+ connectors on both ends plug directly into transceiver cages, freeing two optical module slots and the patch cables they would require. The 3 m length suits adjacent or nearby rack units while avoiding the bend-radius constraints of fibre. Buyers who need longer reaches or fibre media will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFP-H10GB-CU3M= cable, and what step is often missed?

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

What maintenance or replacement will this 9.84 ft twinax cable need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cable only if the copper conductors, SFP+ latches, or SFF-8436 compliance are physically damaged.

What limit appears first on this 3 m direct-attach cable under sustained 10 GbE use?

The 9.84 ft length is the primary limit; it meets IEEE 802.3ae for 10 GbE, so signal integrity holds across the full 3 m without active equalisation.
