Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 2.5m (8ft)

For short, high-density connections, this DAC cable combines 10G performance with a fixed 2.5m (8ft) cable run. It corresponds to Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M and uses a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: SFP-H10GB-CU2-5MHT Part Number: SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 2.5m (8ft), SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: ≤0.1W
• Minimum bend radius: 23mm

The rated power consumption is ≤0.1W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M occupies the middle of this family between SFP-H10GB-CU2M at 2m (7ft) and SFP-H10GB-CU3M at 3m (10ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 23mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is 10G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The 2.5m (8ft) version is useful when a two-metre run would leave insufficient working slack. Before installation, check the complete horizontal and vertical path so that SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

Our compatibility setup for Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M is checked together with the physical 2.5m (8ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

Quote HT part number SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M with the required quantity. The 2.5m (8ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
