SFP-H10GB-CU5M Description
The SFP-H10GB-CU5M is a Cisco 10GBASE-CU SFP+ passive Twinax copper cable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between SFP+ ports in the same row or in adjacent racks. The cable is 5 meters long, uses 24 AWG or 26 AWG conductors, draws at most 0.1W and operates at a commercial temperature of 0 to 70°C. The cable also connects to the CVR-QSFP-SFP10G adapter on Catalyst 9300 and 9300L switches.

Application Scenarios
Between neighboring cabinets, the cable carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet from a C9200L Multigigabit switch uplink to another SFP+ port without an optical transceiver.
On C9300 and C9300L switches, the cable plugs into a CVR-QSFP-SFP10G adapter in a QSFP port to bring a 10G copper link to a nearby SFP+ port.

SFP-H10GB-CU5M and SFP-H10GB-CU4M are both passive 24 AWG or 26 AWG Twinax cables at 0.1W, and what separates them is length: SFP-H10GB-CU5M spans 5 meters with a gray latch, while SFP-H10GB-CU4M spans 4 meters with a green latch. A 7-meter copper run moves to SFP-H10GB-ACU7M, an active Twinax cable on 30 AWG with a 1W maximum power and a blue latch. At the same 5 meters, SFP-10G-AOC5M is an active optical cable that also draws 1W, so it replaces copper where an optical medium is required. All four 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.
