Cisco SFP+ Passive Twinax Cable 2M

This Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2M= is a 2 metre passive twinax cable with SFP+ connectors for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It suits network engineers building short, low-latency connections between compatible switches. The passive design needs no external power, simplifying rack cabling. Buyers needing longer reaches or active optics should choose a different module.

10GBASE-CU Direct-Attach Compatibility

The cable implements the 10GBASE-CU direct-attach specification and is qualified for Cisco Catalyst 3560X and 3750X series switches. This single protocol match decides whether the part fits the port; verify the switch model before ordering. No other protocols or form factors are supported by this assembly.

Passive Operation Thermal Profile

Passive twinax construction draws no power and generates no heat of its own, so it adds nothing to the switch thermal budget. Operation is silent because there are no active components or fans. The .2 kg weight places minimal strain on port cages during installation and vibration.

Questions about this item

What does the 10G figure mean once the cable is installed?

It provides a 10 Gbps direct-attach link between two SFP+ ports without needing separate transceivers.

Which interface standard does the SFP+ connector follow and what does it limit?

The SFP+ form factor limits the passive reach to 2 metres for 10 Gbps operation.

What does the cable need to fit into a Catalyst 3560X or 3750X switch?

An available SFP+ slot on the switch accepts the cable directly with no extra hardware.
