HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-H10GB-CU3M Compatible 3M 10G SFP+ Passive Twinax DAC Copper Cable for Cisco Hardware
Product Overview
HYTOPTODEVICE manufactures pin-to-pin equivalent replacement for original Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M passive twinax DAC. Each cable end is pre-programmed with dedicated Cisco EEPROM profile to ensure native plug-and-play without firmware update or port error alerts on authentic Cisco switches and servers.
This 3-meter medium-length passive DAC complies with SFF-8431/SFF-8432 MSA & IEEE 10GBase-CU standards, built with shielded pure copper twinax. As passive construction, no onboard monitoring chip so DDM/DOM function is unsupported; only basic EEPROM identification data is stored for device recognition. Featuring near-zero power consumption and steady low-latency 10G transmission, it is tailored for medium-distance cross-rack cabling in enterprise IDC and server rooms.
All finished cables pass full compatibility aging testing before dispatch. As reliable Cisco-compatible cabling factory, HYTOPTODEVICE supports bulk wholesale discount, private label OEM and optional custom lengths to satisfy diverse network upgrade needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About HYTOPTODEVICE Compatible 10G SFP+DAC Cable
Q1: Is HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-H10GB-CU3M plug-and-play on genuine Cisco Catalyst & Nexus switches?
A: Yes, prewritten Cisco EEPROM enables direct hot plug with no firmware modification or port warning.
Q2: Does SFP-H10GB-CU3M passive DAC support DDM/DOM real-time monitoring?
A: No, passive twinax excludes monitoring circuitry; only basic PN/speed data saved in EEPROM. Select active DAC if DDM is required.
Q3: What is fixed length of this Cisco compatible DAC?
A: Standard fixed length is 3 meter for medium cross-rack use; HYTOPTODEVICE supplies 0.5M/1M/2M/5M alternative DAC on request.
Q4: Can this DAC connect non-Cisco SFP+ network equipment?
A: Yes, full MSA compliance ensures universal compatibility with all mainstream SFP+ interface switches and server adapters.
Q5: What cost benefits of HYTOPTODEVICE vs original Cisco OEM cable?
A: Same performance and compatibility with 35%~55% lower bulk cost, in-stock fast global delivery and professional factory aftersales support.
Q6: Does SFP-H10GB-CU3M support hot swap on powered-on running devices?
A: Yes, standard SFP+ hot-plug design allows safe plug/unplug without powering down switches or servers.
Q7: How much power consumption of this passive 3M DAC?
A: Below 0.1W per end connector, ultra energy-saving for large-scale IDC construction.
Q8: Standard working temperature range for indoor data center?
A: Commercial grade:0℃~70℃; customized wide-temperature DAC available for harsh non-air-conditioned cabinet under bulk OEM order.
