SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable 1-Meter(3.3ft), 10G SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Patch Passive Cable for Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1M, Ubiquiti UniFi UC-DAC-SFP+, TP-Link, Netgear, D-Link, Zyxel,Mikrotik and More

Product Information

These SFP+ 10G DAC cables can be programmed to be compatible with all major switch and server brands, such as Arista, Cisco, Dell, HP, and Juniper (see full list of options above). Every switch, router, server manufacturer provides a selection of DAC cables to connect their equipment. Supporting 10G transmission, this cable is also able to offer backward compatibility to 1G data rates that use the SFP+/SFP interface. If at all possible, get the hardware out early and test first if you are using 3rd party transceivers/ DACs.

Further on our DAC portfolio, we provide 25G DAC cable products of length ranging from 1 to 5 meters, which ensures a smooth and stable network data rate growth following 10G transceiver generation.An active DAC cable will offer slightly longer transmission distance than a passive DAC cable as it uses electronics within the modules at each end to boost the signals. However, the maximum distance a signal can be transmitted via a DAC cable changes depending on the data rate. With modules such as QSFP+ for 40GbE networking and QSFP28 for 100GbE networking the “Q” stands for Quad. Newer less, if it is necessary our engineers are specialized in 400G DAC cable coding and can provide any compatibility to any Datacom equipment required. If your brands are not listed here or if you have any compatibility questions, please feel free to contact us, we'll reply you within 24-hours.

The modules that plug directly into the equipment ports make a physical electrical contact which ensures a solid connection. For the next few years, we are still likely to see copper DACs between devices in a single rack, but going forward, most rack-to-rack and beyond connectivity will happen via optical communication. I would expect DACs to have better signal quality since there is more end-to-end control, but maybe there’s not many use-cases for running a DAC that far?XFP to SFP+ DAC is a twin-ax direct attach copper cable assembly with a 10G XFP interface on one end and a 10G SFP+ interface on the other.
