SFP-H10GB-ACU7M Description
SFP-H10GB-ACU7M is a Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ active Twinax copper cable assembly for 7 m 10G links between supported Cisco SFP+ ports. It fits BOMs that need an SFP+ to SFP+ copper interconnect with the Cisco-confirmed 7 m active cable length, 30 AWG cable construction, blue bail latch, and 1W maximum power consumption, with host support governed by Cisco transceiver compatibility documentation rather than by the cable SKU alone.

Application Scenarios
Use SFP-H10GB-ACU7M where a Cisco bill of materials specifies a 7-meter SFP+ active Twinax copper cable for a supported 10G link. The fixed length should be checked against rack spacing, cable managers, and service slack before the order is locked.
Cisco Catalyst 9200 release notes list SFP-H10GB-ACU7M among supported cable options for C9200L Multigigabit Ethernet models with 10 Gigabit uplinks. Catalyst 9500 QSA release notes also list this active copper cable family, with final host support tied to Cisco TMG documentation.
Cisco UCS 6300 Series documentation lists SFP-H10GB-ACU7M as the 7-meter active 10GBASE-CU SFP+ cable. Receiving teams should separate it from passive Twinax spares and same-length AOC cables during staging.

- In a SFP-H10GB-ACU7M vs SFP-H10GB-ACU10M comparison, both are Cisco active Twinax copper cables, but the current SKU is the 7-meter 30 AWG option and SFP-H10GB-ACU10M is the 10-meter 28 AWG option.
- The SFP-H10GB-ACU7M difference from SFP-H10GB-CU5M is active versus passive Twinax plus length: SFP-H10GB-ACU7M is a 7-meter active cable, while SFP-H10GB-CU5M is a 5-meter passive cable.
- SFP-H10GB-ACU7M vs SFP-10G-AOC7M is a same-length media comparison: both are 7-meter SFP+ cable assemblies, but SFP-H10GB-ACU7M is copper Twinax and SFP-10G-AOC7M is active optical cable.
- For which model to choose, match the required copper or optical media, fixed cable length, active or passive cable family, and Cisco host compatibility before the SKU enters the BOM.
Selection Guide
1. Select it for a 7-meter active copper path
Choose SFP-H10GB-ACU7M when the design calls for Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ active Twinax copper and the measured path fits the documented 7-meter cable length.
2. Move to the 10-meter active cable only for longer routes
SFP-H10GB-ACU10M stays in the same active Twinax family but changes the fixed length, gauge, and latch color. Use it only when the dressed route cannot be served by the 7-meter cable.
3. Keep passive Twinax orders separate
SFP-H10GB-CU5M is a shorter passive Twinax cable with a different Cisco-listed power value. It should not be used as a substitute when the bill of materials requires a 7-meter active copper cable.
4. Separate active copper from AOC at receiving
SFP-10G-AOC7M has the same 7-meter length and blue latch color, but Cisco identifies it as an active optical cable. Confirm the required media family before approving a quote or replacement shipment.
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 active optical cabling |
|
Fixed length |
7-meter installed path after cable-management slack |
Confirms the route fits this SKU without moving to the 10-meter active copper cable |
|
Host compatibility |
Cisco platform, SFP+ port type, software release, and TMG support |
Verifies the target device supports the exact active copper cable |
|
Power and site conditions |
1W maximum power and commercial operating temperature class |
Keeps port power planning and room conditions aligned with Cisco ratings |
|
Receiving markers |
30 AWG active Twinax construction and blue bail latch |
Helps distinguish it from 10-meter active copper and same-length AOC assemblies |

Outer carton was rated for the weight of the contents. Good logistics choice.
Honestly, I have nothing negative to say about this purchase.
Reordered the same way: smoothly, on time, exactly as expected.
Great service! Helped me out with a rush order.
Good price for active cables. Delivery took a few days but packaging was excellent.
