Description
High Bandwidth & Low Latency
The Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M is a 2.5-meter long 10GBASE-CU SFP+ cable that features two SFP+ connectors on each end. This copper twinax cable is designed to provide high bandwidth and low latency connectivity between networking devices such as switches, routers, and servers.
High Bandwidth: The SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps, providing high bandwidth connectivity between networking devices. This makes it ideal for use in high-performance computing environments such as data centers, where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly and reliably.
Low Latency: In addition to high bandwidth, the SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M cable also provides low latency connectivity. Latency refers to the delay between sending and receiving data, and low latency is important in applications where real-time data processing is required. With a latency of less than 1 microsecond, the SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M cable is ideal for use in applications such as high-frequency trading, scientific computing, and real-time video streaming.
Networking Speeds and Standards
The SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M is a 2.5-meter long copper Twinax cable manufactured by Cisco, designed to provide high-speed connectivity between network devices that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over a single, bidirectional SFP+ interface.
The cable uses copper wire technology to transmit data, which allows it to achieve high data transmission rates over short distances compared to fiber optic cables. The SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M can support a maximum data transmission rate of 10 Gbps over its 2.5-meter length.
The SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M features SFP+ connectors on both ends of the cable, which are compatible with any device that supports 10 GbE over SFP+ ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, routers, servers, and other devices that support 10 GbE.
The SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M is compliant with the IEEE 802.3ae standard for 10 GbE, which ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices that support this standard. It also supports hot-swappable plug-and-play connectivity, which makes it easy to install and use in networking environments.
The high-speed connectivity provided by the SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including data center interconnects, storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and other high-bandwidth networking environments. It is also a cost-effective solution for short-distance connectivity between network switches, routers, and servers that support 10 GbE.
Network Topologies Supported
The SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M Cisco 2.5M 10GB SFP+ Copper Twinax Cable can be used in a variety of network topologies, including:
- Point-to-Point: The cable can be used to connect two networking devices directly, providing a high-speed and low-latency link between them. This topology is commonly used in data centers to connect servers to switches, or switches to each other.
- Top-of-Rack (ToR): In this topology, the cable is used to connect servers to a switch that is located in the same rack. This allows for efficient communication between the servers and the switch, reducing latency and improving overall network performance.
- End-of-Row (EoR): In an EoR topology, the cable is used to connect switches that are located at the end of each row of server racks. This provides a centralized point of connectivity for all the servers in the row, simplifying cabling and reducing the number of cables needed.
- Middle-of-Row (MoR): In a MoR topology, the cable is used to connect switches that are located in the middle of each row of server racks. This provides a more distributed point of connectivity for the servers, improving overall network performance and reducing cabling complexity.
