Black Box SFP-H10GB-CU50CM-BB 50cm Direct Attach Cable
Overview
The Black Box SFP-H10GB-CU50CM-BB is a 0.5-meter (50cm) passive copper direct attach cable designed for high-speed, short-reach network connections. It provides a cost-effective, low-power alternative to fiber optic transceivers for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices within a rack or between adjacent racks. This cable ensures premium, error-free performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) applications, minimizing latency and signal degradation over its specified length.
Compatibility
This SFP+ cable is compatible with any networking device featuring an SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) port. This includes a wide range of 10GbE switches from vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and others, as well as 10GbE NICs in servers and storage arrays. It is designed to meet SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 standards, ensuring broad interoperability across compliant hardware.
Installation Notes
The SFP+ connectors on this cable are designed for plug-and-play installation into standard SFP+ ports. Ensure the port is clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is passive, meaning it draws power from the host device's SFP+ port and does not require separate power connections. The 50cm length is ideal for intra-rack connections, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable to maintain signal integrity.
