SFP-H10GB-ACU10M Description
SFP-H10GB-ACU10M is a Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ active Twinax copper cable assembly for fixed 10-meter 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between supported Cisco SFP+ ports. It is used for short-reach data center, campus, and UCS interconnect cabling where a direct SFP+ to SFP+ copper assembly is preferred over separate optical transceivers and fiber. Cisco official data identifies this SKU as an active Twinax cable assembly with 28 AWG cable, red bail latch, 1W maximum power consumption, commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operating temperature, and compatibility governed by the Cisco Transceiver Module Group Compatibility Matrix.

Application Scenarios
Deploy SFP-H10GB-ACU10M where a Cisco bill of materials specifies a fixed 10-meter SFP+ active Twinax copper cable instead of passive Twinax or an AOC assembly.
Cisco Catalyst 9200 release notes list SFP-H10GB-ACU10M among supported cables for C9200L Multigigabit Ethernet models with 10 Gigabit uplinks, with final device compatibility tied to Cisco TMG documentation.
Cisco UCS 6300 Series documentation lists SFP-H10GB-ACU10M as the 10-meter active 10GBASE-CU SFP+ cable option, making the exact length and active copper family important during replacement and staging.

- In a SFP-H10GB-ACU10M vs SFP-H10GB-ACU7M comparison, both are active Twinax copper cables, but SFP-H10GB-ACU10M is the 10-meter option and SFP-H10GB-ACU7M is the 7-meter option.
- The SFP-H10GB-ACU10M difference from SFP-H10GB-CU5M is active versus passive Twinax plus length: the current SKU is a 10-meter active cable, while SFP-H10GB-CU5M is a 5-meter passive cable.
- SFP-H10GB-ACU10M vs SFP-10G-AOC10M is a media-family comparison at the same 10-meter length; choose the model to order by matching copper Twinax or active optical cable requirements.
- For which model to choose, confirm the required cable medium, fixed length, SFP+ port support, and Cisco compatibility-matrix approval before the SKU is added to the BOM.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for a 10-meter active Twinax run
Select SFP-H10GB-ACU10M when the deployment calls for Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ active Twinax copper at a fixed 10-meter length.
2. Use SFP-H10GB-ACU7M for shorter active copper paths
SFP-H10GB-ACU7M keeps the active Twinax copper family but changes the fixed length and cable gauge, so it should only replace the 10-meter SKU when the route fits 7 meters.
3. Keep passive Twinax orders separate
SFP-H10GB-CU5M is a passive Twinax cable with a shorter 5-meter length and lower Cisco-listed power value. It is not a direct substitute for a 10-meter active copper cable requirement.
4. Separate copper Twinax from AOC cabling
SFP-10G-AOC10M shares the 10-meter length and red latch color, but Cisco identifies it as an active optical cable assembly. Match the ordered SKU to the required copper or optical cabling design.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Cable medium |
10GBASE-CU active Twinax copper cable assembly |
Keeps the order aligned with copper DAC cabling rather than 10GBASE-AOC optical cabling |
|
Fixed length |
10-meter installed path with cable-management slack |
Confirms the chosen active copper cable can be dressed without changing SKU family |
|
Host compatibility |
Cisco platform, SFP+ port type, and software support in Cisco TMG documentation |
Verifies that the target device supports the exact cable SKU |
|
Power and temperature |
1W maximum power and commercial operating temperature class |
Helps confirm the host port and environment match the Cisco specification |
|
