SFP-H10GB-CU1-5M=

The SFP-H10GB-CU1-5M is a passive twinax copper cable, 1.5 m long, with an SFP+ connector permanently attached at each end. With no active electronics it draws very little power, about 0.1 W per the data sheet, and reports no digital diagnostics. It is intended for data-centre environments and has a standard commercial temperature range. Laying the cable in before the equipment is fully racked leaves the final connection for last and saves rework. It carries a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link between two SFP+ ports and needs no separate transceivers. Cisco lists this length on 30 AWG twinax, a thinner and more flexible conductor. Store unused lengths coiled loosely in their bag so the jacket and strain reliefs keep their shape. Keep a spare of the same length on the shelf if the link is critical, as there is no field repair for a moulded cable. Neighbouring cabinets in a row are the usual target, with the switch in one rack and its connected hosts in that one or the next.
