SFPCMM5M - Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU5M Compatible 10 Gbps SFP+ Twinax Copper Direct Attach Cable | 5 m

The Startech.com SFPCMM5M is a Cisco-compatible 10 Gbps SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) Twinax cable, designed for reliable, ultra-low latency connections between networking devices. With fully programmed compatibility for Cisco's SFP-H10GB-CU5M standard, this 5-meter passive Twinax cable provides seamless plug-and-play integration with Cisco switches and routers. Ideal for short-range, high-bandwidth environments like data centers and server racks, it connects devices directly without the need for transceivers, significantly cutting deployment costs and complexity while maintaining enterprise-grade performance.

Features

Developed to meet stringent MSA standards, the SFPCMM5M Cisco-compatible Direct Attach Cable ensures interoperability across Cisco platforms such as Firepower, ASR920, ASR9000, Catalyst 9300, and 3850 series suppliers. Operating at full 10 Gbps over a 100 Ω copper Twinax link, this cable supports high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel workloads with minimal latency, making it ideal for high-performance server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections.

Advanced Options

As a passive Direct Attach Cable, it draws virtually no power, eliminating the need for intermediate transceivers or fiber patch panels. Its lightweight 30 AWG cable and black PVC jacket provide a durable yet flexible solution for in-rack cabling. Because it's hot-swappable, installation and replacement can be done on live equipment without disrupting network operations. It's also RoHS, REACH, and WEEE compliant, reflecting modern environmental standards Product Key Features
