Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum cable length and reach for this DAC?

The SFP-H10GB-ACU7M-AO supports a maximum reach of 7 meters (23 feet) over active copper. This length is optimized for short-distance data center interconnects between switches, servers, and storage arrays. For distances exceeding 7 meters, optical DACs or fiber optic cables are recommended.

Is this cable compatible with non-Cisco equipment?

While designed for Cisco SFP-H10GB-ACU7M compatibility, the cable's SFP+ connectors and 10GBase-CU standard allow operation with other vendors' 10GBase-CU SFP+ ports. However, Cisco compatibility is guaranteed; compatibility with other equipment should be verified with your network vendor before deployment.

What are the power and latency characteristics?

Active copper DACs consume minimal power compared to optical transceivers. Latency is typically under 1 microsecond, making this cable suitable for latency-sensitive applications. The active copper design includes signal conditioning to maintain performance across the full 7-meter reach without degradation.

Does this cable support FCoE and storage networking?

Yes, the cable complies with 8G and 10G FCoE standards, supporting Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications. It meets SFF-8431 specifications for enhanced 10 Gigabit SFP+ connectivity, making it suitable for storage area networks (SANs) and converged infrastructure deployments.

What compliance certifications does this cable hold?

The cable is TAA compliant, CE and RoHS certified, and meets IEEE 802.3ak standards. It carries ECCN 5A991 classification and originates from USA/UK, ensuring compliance with government procurement regulations and export controls for federal and enterprise deployments.

What is the wire gauge and impedance specification?

The cable features 30 AWG wire gauge with 100 Ohm differential impedance, ensuring signal integrity and reliable 10 Gigabit performance. The 7.5mm bending radius allows flexible routing in dense cable environments without compromising signal quality or cable durability.

How does this compare to optical DACs in terms of cost?

Active copper DACs are typically 60–70% less expensive than optical solutions for short-reach applications under 10 meters. This cable eliminates the need for SFP+ optical transceivers, reducing capital expenditure while maintaining equivalent performance for data center interconnects within the 7-meter range.
