SFP-H10GB-CU3M Description
The SFP-H10GB-CU3M is a Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ passive Twinax copper cable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between SFP+ ports that sit a few meters apart in a rack row. The cable is 3 meters long, uses 30 AWG conductors, draws at most 0.1W and carries an orange bail latch. Support is documented for C9200L Multigigabit uplinks on Catalyst 9200, for Cisco UCS VIC 15000 Series adapters and for UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects.

Application Scenarios
C9200L Multigigabit switches in an access closet use the cable on their 10 Gigabit uplink ports to connect to a switch in the next rack position.
Cisco UCS VIC 15000 Series adapters and UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects in a server row use the cable for passive 10G copper connections over 3 meters.

SFP-H10GB-CU3M and SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M are both passive 30 AWG Twinax cables, and the difference is length: SFP-H10GB-CU3M spans 3 meters with an orange latch, while SFP-H10GB-CU2-5M spans 2.5 meters with a yellow latch. A 4-meter route moves to SFP-H10GB-CU4M, which is also passive at 0.1W but uses 24 AWG or 26 AWG conductors and a green latch. Runs of up to 7 meters call for SFP-H10GB-ACU7M, an active Twinax cable with a 1W maximum power and a blue latch. All four cables are commercial-temperature 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ to SFP+ assemblies.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9200L hosts: Confirm the host is a Catalyst 9200L Multigigabit model with 4x10G uplinks, such as C9200L-24PXG-4X or C9200L-48PXG-4X. The cable fits SFP+ uplink ports; Catalyst 9200 and 9200L models with other uplink speeds are not covered by this listing.
