Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M Compatible 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 3m (10ft)

This HT cable matches the SFP-H10GB-CU3M requirement for Cisco equipment. The 3m (10ft) assembly supports 10G operation and provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

OEM Part Number: SFP-H10GB-CU3MHT Part Number: SFP-H10GB-CU3M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 3m (10ft), SFP-H10GB-CU3M
• 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.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

SFP-H10GB-CU3M occupies the middle of this family between SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M at 2.5m (8ft) and SFP-H10GB-CU4M at 4m (13ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. 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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with SFP-H10GB-CU3M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 3m (10ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Cisco software can request a pre-order check.

When ordering, specify SFP-H10GB-CU3M, cable length 3m (10ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, SFP-H10GB-CU3M and the 3m (10ft) length for easier inventory control.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
