SFP-H10GB-CU2M Description
SFP-H10GB-CU2M is a Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ passive Twinax copper cable assembly for short 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between supported SFP+ ports. This 2 m direct-attach cable uses an SFP+ to SFP+ interface, 30 AWG Twinax construction, a brown bail latch, and a low 0.1W maximum power profile, making it a compact BOM-matching option for Cisco switch, UCS VIC, and UCS Fabric Interconnect deployments where Cisco compatibility documentation confirms host support. Its commercial operating temperature range is 0 to 70 degrees C, so it fits controlled data center or wiring-closet environments rather than extended-temperature outdoor or industrial links.

Application Scenarios
SFP-H10GB-CU2M fits Cisco SFP+ copper connections where the dressed path lands at 2 meters. It is a passive direct-attach cable, so the receiving team should not treat it as an optical AOC or as an active copper replacement.
Cisco release notes include SFP-H10GB-CU2M in the supported-cable list for C9200L Multigigabit Ethernet models with 10 Gigabit uplinks. Match that listing with the target hardware and Cisco TMG result before the BOM is finalized.
Cisco UCS documentation also identifies SFP-H10GB-CU2M as a 2-meter passive 10GBASE-CU SFP+ cable. Spare-stock staging should group it with passive DAC lengths and keep the active ACU cable family in a separate bin.

- In a SFP-H10GB-CU2M vs SFP-H10GB-CU1-5M comparison, both are passive 30 AWG Twinax copper cables, but the current SKU is the 2-meter order and SFP-H10GB-CU1-5M is the 1.5-meter order.
- The SFP-H10GB-CU2M difference from SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M is fixed length and latch color: Cisco lists SFP-H10GB-CU2M at 2 meters with a brown latch and SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M at 2.5 meters with a yellow latch.
- SFP-H10GB-CU2M vs SFP-H10GB-ACU7M is a passive-versus-active copper comparison, with SFP-H10GB-CU2M listed at 0.1W and SFP-H10GB-ACU7M listed at 1W.
- For which model to choose, match the required cable length, passive or active Twinax family, latch-marked receiving SKU, and Cisco host compatibility before purchase release.
Selection Guide
1. Select it for a measured 2-meter passive route
Choose SFP-H10GB-CU2M when the dressed cable path fits a 2-meter Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ passive Twinax assembly and both endpoints are supported Cisco SFP+ ports.
2. Use the neighboring passive lengths only for route fit
SFP-H10GB-CU1-5M and SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M remain passive 30 AWG cable assemblies, but they change the fixed length and receiving color marker. Order them only when the physical route calls for 1.5 meters or 2.5 meters.
3. Do not substitute active copper for the passive order
SFP-H10GB-ACU7M belongs to the active Twinax cable group and has a different Cisco-listed power value. Keep it out of a passive 2-meter BOM unless the approved design names the active 7-meter SKU.
4. Confirm host support before order release
Check the Cisco platform, SFP+ port type, software context, and TMG compatibility result before adding SFP-H10GB-CU2M to the quote or spare-kit order.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Measured route |
The dressed cable path and service loop fit a 2-meter assembly |
Avoids ordering a 1.5-meter or 2.5-meter DAC after rack routing is already fixed |
|
Media family |
The requirement is Cisco 10GBASE-CU passive Twinax copper |
Separates this DAC from 10G AOC and active Twinax cable assemblies |
|
Endpoint support |
Target Cisco device, SFP+ port role, software context, and TMG result |
Keeps the cable tied to a supported host rather than only to the connector shape |
|
Electrical and room rating |
0.1W maximum power and commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operation |
Confirms the port power and site environment match Cisco-listed values |
|
Receiving identifiers |
30 AWG passive construction with brown bail latch |
Gives warehouse teams physical markers for the 2-meter passive cable |
