SFP-10G-AC-1M3FT 10G SFP+ Active Copper Twinax Cable, 1m (3ft)
The SFP-10G-AC-1M3FT compatible assembly is intended for Generic equipment that requires a 10G direct-attached connection. This version is specifically 1m (3ft), with SFP+ to SFP+ and its own order reference. Exact length pages and equivalent brand references are linked to make multi-product procurement easier to verify.

Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is ≤0.5W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
At 1m (3ft), SFP-10G-AC-1M3FT is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.
Position Within the Length Range
SFP-10G-AC-1M3FT is the shortest of 5 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is SFP+ to SFP+-10G-ACC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft), adding 2m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.
Procurement and Port-Mapping Review
A useful purchase order should identify the host platform, the expected OEM code and the exact cable length as separate pieces of information. This prevents a physically similar assembly from being substituted when the port identification or reach is different. For mixed-length installations, prepare one order line per part number and reconcile each delivered cable with its intended pair of ports. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 30AWG as default, 24AWG for optional; the minimum bend radius is 23mm; the stated power consumption is ≤0.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 30AWG as default, 24AWG for optional conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 23mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing
Our procurement-oriented compatibility check begins with the OEM reference and ends with a live host link. We record the physical length separately from the identification configuration, so the cable supplied for this page remains the stated version rather than a generic length substitute. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
Ordering Information
For a clear bill of materials, quote the OEM reference, HT part number, length and quantity on the same line. Add the switch or server model and software release when a pre-order review is required; project labels can repeat those details for receiving and installation teams. This page’s fixed configuration is 1m (3ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Before packing, the assembly is checked for connector condition, identification and link operation. Cables for multi-line orders can be labelled and grouped by part number, making it easier to match each length to the procurement record without opening every protective bag. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.
