SFP‑10G‑CU1M 10G SFP+ Direct‑Attach Copper Cable – 1 Meter High‑Speed DAC 🌐
The SFP‑10G‑CU1M SFP+ Direct‑Attach Copper (DAC) Cable is a compact, high‑performance solution designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in data centers, enterprise IT environments, and high‑density switching architectures. With a 1‑meter passive copper design, this cable delivers ultra‑low latency, high reliability, and cost‑effective short‑range connectivity between network devices.
Built for indoor use, the SFP‑10G‑CU1M is ideal for connecting servers, switches, routers, and storage equipment within the same rack or in closely positioned racks. By integrating SFP+ connectors directly into the cable, it eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing overall network costs. ⚡
10G High‑Speed Direct‑Attach Performance 🚀
The SFP‑10G‑CU1M supports 10 Gigabit data rates and is designed for high‑throughput, low‑latency networking scenarios. Direct‑attach copper technology ensures stable signal transmission with minimal processing overhead, making it ideal for performance‑critical applications such as virtualization, storage networking, cloud infrastructure, and high‑frequency data exchange.
This makes the cable a practical choice for enterprise networks that require reliable 10G connectivity without the complexity of optical solutions.
Passive DAC Design – Low Power & Cost‑Effective 🔌
As a passive DAC cable, the SFP‑10G‑CU1M requires no power for signal amplification or conversion. This results in extremely low power consumption and minimal heat generation compared to active optical cables or transceiver‑based links.
The passive design also makes this cable more affordable, helping organizations reduce capital and operational expenses while maintaining dependable network performance [1](https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1100214363/b44e8961/sfp-to-sfp-high-speed-cable).
1‑Meter Length – Perfect for In‑Rack Connections 🖥️
With a 1‑meter cable length, the SFP‑10G‑CU1M is optimized for short‑reach connections, such as server‑to‑switch or switch‑to‑switch links within the same rack. The shorter length improves cable management, reduces clutter, and supports cleaner, more organized data center layouts.
This makes it especially suitable for top‑of‑rack (ToR) deployments and high‑density equipment configurations.
SFP+ Integrated Connectors – Plug‑and‑Play Simplicity 🔧
The cable features SFP+ connectors permanently attached at both ends, ensuring seamless compatibility with SFP+ ports on networking devices. Installation is straightforward: simply plug the connectors into the appropriate SFP+ slots and establish a high‑speed link instantly.
The hot‑pluggable design allows installation or replacement without powering down equipment, minimizing disruption in live network environments.
Optimized for Indoor Data Center Use 🏢
Designed specifically for indoor applications, the SFP‑10G‑CU1M performs best in controlled environments such as data centers, server rooms, enterprise wiring closets, and lab setups. Its construction is optimized for short‑distance connectivity where copper DAC cables deliver the best balance of performance and efficiency.
This focus makes it a widely used solution in modern high‑speed networking infrastructure.
Ultra‑Low Latency & High Reliability 🔒
By avoiding optical signal conversion, the SFP‑10G‑CU1M provides extremely low latency, which is critical for time‑sensitive workloads. The cable is engineered for stable performance during continuous operation, ensuring reliable data transmission in always‑on enterprise networks.
This reliability makes it suitable for mission‑critical applications where consistent connectivity is essential.
Broad Compatibility with SFP+ Devices 🌍
The SFP‑10G‑CU1M is designed in accordance with common SFP+ standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards that support 10G SFP+ connections [1](https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1100214363/b44e8961/sfp-to-sfp-high-speed-cable).
This makes it easy to integrate into existing infrastructures or new deployments without special configuration.
