Add-On SFP-H10GB-CU1M-RD-AO 10G-CU DAC Cable

Overview

The Add-On SFP-H10GB-CU1M-RD-AO is a 1-meter passive copper direct attach cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections. This cable terminates in SFP+ connectors, providing a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-reach data center and enterprise networking applications. It's ideal for connecting switches to servers, or switch-to-switch uplinks within the same rack or adjacent racks, where high bandwidth is required without the complexity or cost of fiber optics.

Compatibility

This cable is designed to be compatible with any networking device utilizing standard SFP+ ports, including Cisco switches, routers, and network interface cards. It functions with any system requiring a 10Gbps SFP+ DAC connection, such as those found in enterprise server environments and high-performance network cores. Specific compatibility extends to Cisco Nexus, Catalyst, and other SFP+ enabled platforms.

Installation Notes

The SFP+ connectors feature a pull-tab for secure insertion and removal. Ensure the SFP+ ports on your equipment are clean before insertion. The passive nature of this cable means it draws power from the host device's SFP+ port, simplifying deployment as no external power source is required. For optimal signal integrity, avoid sharp bends exceeding a 1-inch radius and keep the cable run to the specified 1-meter length.
