Cisco-Compatible SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

This 1.5 m SFP+ direct-attach copper cable provides a cost-effective 10 GbE link between two SFP+ ports. It matches the Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1-5M specification and complies with MSA industry standards. The passive twinax design consumes less than 0.5 W and supports hot-swappable installation alongside fiber modules.

Suitable For Short-Rack 10 GbE Links

Network engineers connecting top-of-rack switches or servers within a single rack will find the 4.9 ft length convenient. Builders who need longer runs between racks or across data-centre aisles should look at alternative cable lengths or fiber-optic modules.

MSA-Compliant 30 AWG 100-Ohm Twinax Construction

The cable uses 30 AWG conductors with 100-ohm impedance and meets SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 connector standards. This construction guarantees signal integrity for 10 GbE while keeping power draw below 0.5 W.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFPH10GBCU15 cable and what step is often missed?

Insert each SFP+ latching plug into a compatible port until the latch clicks. The step often missed is confirming the latch is fully engaged so the cable cannot pull free.

What maintenance or replacement will the SFPH10GBCU15 need later?

The passive copper twinax has no moving parts or firmware. Inspect the latches and connector ends for dust or bent pins during rack changes; replace only if a link fails or physical damage appears.

What limit appears first on the SFPH10GBCU15 under sustained 10 GbE load?

The 1.5 metre passive design reaches its maximum specified reach first. Signal integrity is guaranteed to 10 GbE at this length; longer runs would require active or optical cables.
