More Information
The SFP-H10GB-CU3M is a Cisco-branded 3-meter (9.8 feet) direct-attach SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable) passive twinax cable. It is used to connect SFP+ ports on Cisco network devices, such as switches and routers, to other SFP+ devices or network equipment. The "direct-attach" design of the cable means that it connects directly to the SFP+ ports without the need for additional transceivers. The cable is passive, meaning it does not contain any active electronic components, and it uses twinaxial cable, which is a type of copper cable that consists of two insulated copper wires surrounded by a common braided shield.
This cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps and is designed for use in high-speed network environments, such as data centers and enterprise networks. The 3-meter length provides a balance of flexibility and convenience, making it easy to connect devices that are located in close proximity to each other. The cable's passive design eliminates the need for external power sources, which can reduce costs and complexity. This cable is RoHS compliant and built to meet or exceed industry standards for performance and reliability, ensuring that it can withstand the demands of high-speed networking applications.
High Performance
The SFP-H10GB-CU3M Cisco 3M Direct-Attach SFP+ Passive Twinax Cable is designed to provide high-performance data transfer over short distances. The cable uses twinaxial copper wire, which is known for its low signal loss and high noise immunity. The cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which is the standard speed for SFP+ connections. The cable is also passive, meaning it does not contain any active electronic components, which can improve the cable's reliability and reduce power consumption.
However, as this is a passive cable, it has a limited distance of 3 meters (9.8ft) over which it can transmit data at the full 10 Gbps, this is because the signal degrade as the distance increases. Also, the cable is not compatible with SFP+ ports that require active cables.
Reliability of Twinax Copper Cable
The SFP-H10GB-CU3M Cisco 3M Direct-Attach SFP+ Passive Twinax Cable is built to meet or exceed industry standards for performance and reliability, ensuring that it can withstand the demands of high-speed networking applications. The twinaxial cable design, which consists of two insulated copper wires surrounded by a common braided shield, provides a high level of signal integrity and protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The passive design of the cable eliminates the need for external power sources, which can reduce the risk of power-related failures and improve the overall reliability of the cable. Additionally, the cable is RoHS compliant, meaning it does not contain any hazardous materials that could potentially cause damage or failure.
Cisco is known for its high-quality networking equipment and this cable is no exception. Cisco's reputation for quality and reliability should give confidence in the product. However, the cable's reliability also depends on the installation and maintenance of the cable. Proper installation, handling, and maintenance of the cable can help ensure that it functions properly and lasts as long as possible.

About New Bulk Pack Products
Twinaxial cable (also known as Twinax cable) is similar to the coaxial cable, with the only difference being that the former has two inner conductors. These cables were not popular until after 2013, when their applications in differential signaling showed a significant increase. Twinaxial cables are used for high-speed data transfer over short distances, usually not more than 10 meters.
Twinax Cable Length and Performance
Most of these cable types are 10-gigabit Ethernet cables and are classified as either passive or active. Active Twinax cables, as the name suggests, have active electronic components that that are encased at the connector terminal to improve signal quality. This is necessary for applications that are data sensitive. A passive twinaxial cable, on the other hand, has no components and only consists of the conductor and insulation casing. Generally, longer cables are made active because of the long distance the signal has to travel, and shorter cables are passive. But that depends on the manufacturer and brand.
Twinax cables are commonly used for connecting devices through the SFP+ interface ports. They are desired for this because of the high data throughput of up to 10GBps and low latency. A Twinax cable is many times better than other cabling standards such as CAT7 and CAT6. They also draw minimal power to operate, even for active Twinax cables.
What Materials are Used in Twinax Cable?
These cables were constructed mainly from copper wires. That was before the commercial use of fiber optic cables. Currently, you can choose between Twinax copper cable or Twinax optical cable. By comparison, optical cables are better performers and are also more expensive. So, your choice will be limited to what you have on your budget.
Twinax and Coaxial, How Do They Compare?
It is possible to get confused between these two commonly used types of cables. They are very similar in many ways, but the notable difference that sets the twinaxial cable apart is the two conductors instead of one. This construction makes these cables have better signal integrity in short-range applications. When shopping, you will have to know this difference and consider other factors as well.
