Product Overview
Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU5M is a 10GBASE-CU SFP+ direct attach copper cable designed for high-speed, low-latency connections between switches, servers, and storage equipment. At 5 meters in length, this passive twinax cable provides a cost-effective alternative to fiber transceivers for short-run 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within racks or across adjacent racks.
Each end terminates in an integrated SFP+ module, allowing direct insertion into standard SFP+ ports without additional optics. Built to Cisco specifications, it supports 10 Gbps Ethernet operation with minimal power draw and reduced complexity compared to fiber-based solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a fiber optic cable?
No. This is a passive direct attach copper (DAC) twinax cable with integrated SFP+ modules.
What is the maximum supported speed?
This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps) operation in compliance with 10GBASE-CU specifications.
Is it compatible with non-Cisco equipment?
It is designed to Cisco specifications. Compatibility with third-party hardware depends on that platform's SFP+ support and vendor coding requirements.
Does it require separate transceivers?
No. The SFP+ connectors are integrated into the cable assembly and plug directly into SFP+ ports.
Has this cable been used?
No. It is unused, New Old Stock and has passed visual inspection with no issues noted.
Five meters of direct 10G connectivity without optics, patch panels, or extra power draw. If you need a clean, simple SFP+ link across the rack, this cable keeps it straightforward.
