Black Box 16.4ft SFP+ 10-Gbps Direct Attach Cable (Black)

The Black Box SFP-H10GB-CU5M-BB is a 16.4-foot direct attach cable designed to deliver reliable 10-Gbps connectivity for Cisco switches, routers, servers, and other devices that follow the Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards. This cable fits seamlessly into existing network setups that use Cisco SFP-H10GB-CUxM= modules, making it a straightforward choice for expanding or upgrading your infrastructure.

Built to meet industry standards like SFP+ MSA and SFF-8431, this cable supports high-speed Ethernet, fiber channel, and high-performance computing environments. Its passive copper design means it uses very little power and keeps latency low, which is especially useful in data centers or server rooms where efficiency and speed are critical. Because it doesn’t require additional power like active optical cables, it offers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing performance.

The cable’s black PVC jacket provides durability and protection, suitable for in-rack, high-density setups where space and reliability matter. Its hot-swappable nature allows you to replace or upgrade equipment without shutting down your system, minimizing downtime and keeping your network running smoothly. Whether you’re managing a growing data center or maintaining a high-performance computing cluster, this cable offers a dependable connection that fits naturally into demanding environments.
