Tripp Lite SFP+ 10Gbase-CU Passive Twinax Copper Cable, SFP-H10GB-CU1M Compatible, Green, 1M (3.28 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N280-01M-GN is a passive twinax copper cable designed to connect two SFP+ ports at 10 Gbps over a one-meter distance. It provides a reliable and energy-efficient solution for linking devices such as top-of-rack switches, servers, and storage arrays within the same rack or adjacent racks. This cable supports high-speed data transfer while maintaining signal integrity and ease of installation.

Key features

• Passive twinax design with 30 AWG conductors eliminates the need for additional power, reducing energy consumption and simplifying troubleshooting.
• Hot-pluggable SFP+ 20-pin connectors enable quick, tool-free installation and replacement without disrupting network operations.
• Die-cast metal shells shield contacts to minimize electromagnetic interference and preserve signal quality.
• Slim 4.2 mm outer diameter and 23 mm minimum bend radius allow easy routing through dense cable management systems in crowded racks.
• Green PVC jacket enhances visibility for fast identification during moves, adds, and changes.
• Compliance with MSA SFF-8431 ensures compatibility with equipment from Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Extreme, and other brands supporting the SFP-H10GB-CU1M form factor.
• Operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 70 °C, meeting RoHS environmental standards.
• Lifetime limited warranty provides long-term confidence in performance and durability.
