Cisco-Compatible 10GbE SFP+ Cable

This 2-metre passive twinax cable connects two SFP+ ports at 10 GbE. It is built to match the Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2M part and meets MSA industry standards. The latching plugs ensure a secure fit in compatible switches and network cards. Power draw stays below 0.05 W.

Suits Direct 10G Links, Not Longer Runs

Network teams needing a short, low-power link between two SFP+ switches or servers will find this cable fits the slot. Buyers who need fibre reach beyond a rack or who require active optics for longer distances should look at a different solution. The fixed 2-metre length cannot be extended.

MSA-Compliant Passive Twinax Construction

The cable follows the SFP+ MSA specification for passive direct-attach copper. This single detail decides whether the module will initialise in a given switch port. Compatibility is guaranteed against the Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2M reference.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 2 m SFP+ direct-attach cable is passing 10 GbE traffic after I plug it in?

Verify the link LED on each SFP+ port shows an active 10 GbE connection and run a throughput test between the two devices to confirm full line-rate performance.

What comes with the SFPCMM2M cable and do I need to buy SFP+ transceivers separately?

The package contains the 2 m passive twinax cable with SFP+ latching plugs on both ends; no separate transceivers are required because the connectors are integrated.

Which length should I choose if my switch ports are 6.6 ft apart?

The 2 m (6.6 ft) SFPCMM2M matches that distance exactly and is the only length offered for this model.
