HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-H10GB-CU50CM Compatible 0.5M 10G SFP+ Passive Twinax DAC Copper Cable for Cisco Equipment
Product Overview
HYTOPTODEVICE produces pin-to-pin fully compatible replacement of original Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU50CM passive SFP+ twinax DAC cable. Each cable end is pre-flashed with exclusive Cisco-certified EEPROM profile to guarantee seamless plug-and-play deployment without switch firmware upgrade or unrecognized port alarms.
This 0.5-meter ultra-short passive twinax DAC follows SFF-8431 & SFF-8432 MSA standard, built with pure copper twinax construction with no internal amplifier or monitoring chip, non-DDM/DOM passive design only stores basic EEPROM identity data for hardware identification. Featuring near-zero power consumption, this short-length DAC is engineered specifically for ultra-dense in-cabinet short-reach interconnection inside enterprise and small-scale IDC racks.
Every finished SFP-H10GB-CU50CM equivalent DAC undergoes strict compatibility aging testing on Cisco and multi-brand network hardware before shipment. As a professional factory supplier for Cisco compatible DAC and optical interconnect products, HYTOPTODEVICE supports bulk wholesale pricing, private label OEM customization and optional alternative lengths upon customer bulk order.

Full Compatibility List & Supported Devices
Native Supported Cisco Hardware
Preloaded Cisco proprietary EEPROM enables native recognition across mainstream Cisco switch families including Catalyst 3650/3850/9300, Nexus 2000/5000/9000 series, Cisco ISR routers and UCS server SFP+ mezzanine NIC adapters without configuration tweaks：
-
Cisco Nexus Series Data Center Switches: Fully compatible with top-of-rack and aggregation architectures including the Nexus 3000, 5000, 7000, and 9000 (ACI Mode/Standalone) Series.
-
Cisco Catalyst Series Enterprise Switches: Optimized for core and aggregation layers using the Catalyst 3850, 9300, 9500, and 9600 Series switches equipped with 10GbE modules.
-
Cisco UCS & Routed Platforms: Compatible with Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Fabric Interconnects and Cisco ASR/ISR series routing platforms.
Cross-Brand Multi-Vendor CompatibilityComplying with universal SFP+ MSA specification, this SFP-H10GB-CU50CM replacement DAC works flawlessly with SFP+ port equipped switches and server NICs from HPE, Huawei, Juniper, Arista, Dell Force10 and other mainstream global network brands.
Primary Application Scenarios for 10G Passive Twinax Copper
- Intra-Rack Leaf-Spine Interconnects: Perfectly sized at 0.5 meters to bridge short patch connections between adjacent high-density blade chassis or servers and top-of-rack switches without excessive cable slack.
- High-Density Server Patching: Connects 10G SFP+ Network Interface Cards (NICs) on enterprise servers directly into neighboring distribution switches within the same cabinet enclosure.
- Storage Area Network (SAN) Links: Provides low-latency connections between flash storage arrays and Cisco Nexus network cores over short, direct spans.
- SMB Server Room Low-Cost Network Upgrade：Replace high-cost SFP+ optical transceivers plus fiber patch cords with economical SFP-H10GB-CU50CM passive DAC to cut overall project CAPEX for small business network reconstruction and equipment expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions About HYTOPTODEVICE Compatible SFP+DAC Cable
Q1: Is HYTOPTODEVICE SFP-H10GB-CU50CM fully plug-and-play on original Cisco Catalyst & Nexus switches?
A: Yes, customized Cisco exclusive EEPROM is pre-programmed on both cable terminals, supporting hot plug directly with no extra firmware update or port error prompt on authentic Cisco hardware.
Q2: Does SFP-H10GB-CU50CM passive twinax DAC support DDM/DOM real-time operational parameter monitoring?
A: No, passive DAC structure excludes DDM monitoring circuitry and chips, only basic EEPROM information including part number, length and transmission speed is saved for device identification; choose our active DAC variant if DDM function is required.
Q3: What is the fixed physical length of this SFP-H10GB-CU50CM Cisco replacement DAC?
A: Standard fixed length is 0.5 meter, exclusively designed for ultra-short within-rack deployment; HYTOPTODEVICE supplies optional 0.3M/1M/2M/3M alternative DAC for varied rack layout demands.
Q4: Can SFP-H10GB-CU50CM DAC connect non-Cisco branded SFP+ switches and generic server NIC?
A: Absolutely, fully compliant with global SFP+ MSA specification and compatible with all SFP+ interface network adapters and enterprise switches across multi-vendor brands.
Q5: What core cost benefits of selecting HYTOPTODEVICE replacement DAC versus genuine Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU50CM OEM cable?
A: Identical electrical performance and full hardware interoperability with original Cisco cabling, 35%~55% lower bulk purchase cost, ready-in-stock fast global delivery and dedicated after-sales technical support from our factory.
Q6: Does SFP-H10GB-CU50CM support hot swap on powered-on running Cisco network equipment?
A: The DAC follows standard SFP+ hot-plug specification, allowing safe plug and unplug operation without powering down switches or connected servers.
Q7: How much power consumption does SFP-H10GB-CU50CM passive copper DAC consume during operation?
A: Ultra-low power draw less than 0.1W per end connector, significantly more energy-saving compared with optical transceivers and active DAC products for green data center construction.
Q8: What standard operating temperature range for regular IDC cabinet environment deployment?
A: Commercial working temperature range: 0°C ~70°C; customized wide-temperature industrial-grade DAC is available upon large-quantity OEM order for non-air-conditioned harsh cabinet conditions.
Q9: Does HYTOPTODEVICE provide OEM private labeling and custom cable marking for global network distributors?
