FLYPROFiber 10G SFP+ DAC Cable SFP+ to SFP+ 0.5-7m

FLYPROFiber 10G DAC (SFP+ to SFP+) is a passive twinax cable engineered to deliver reliable 10Gbps connections for short-reach network links.

If you need a low-latency, cost-effective link between two SFP+ ports — for switches, servers, NAS or NICs — this passive direct-attach copper (DAC) cable provides a plug-and-play alternative to optical transceivers and fiber patch cords. Available in lengths from 0.5m up to 7m and sold in multi-packs, it’s built for data-center and rack-to-rack runs where 10Gbps is required and simplicity matters.

How does this cable differ from optical SFP+ modules?

Unlike fiber-based solutions, a passive DAC contains a copper twinax conductor with integrated SFP+ connectors, eliminating separate transceivers and patch cords. That reduces both initial cost and ongoing component points of failure while keeping latency and power use very low.

• Includes SFP+ connectors permanently attached — no separate modules or fiber cord needed.
• Passive design draws no extra power versus active optics.
• Optimized for short distances where 10Gbps is sufficient and fiber expense is unnecessary.

Will this work with my switch or server brands like Cisco, Ubiquiti or Netgear?

FLYPROFiber tests each cable for broad interoperability with many mainstream vendors. The cable is compatible with equipment that accepts standard SFP+ DACs from brands such as Cisco, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Netgear, Supermicro and others, but you should confirm your device accepts passive SFP+ DACs.

• Commonly compatible with Cisco/Meraki, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Netgear, D-Link and more.
• Works with 10G NAS, NICs, switches and servers that support passive SFP+ DACs.
• Always check device documentation for vendor compatibility lists or port restrictions.

What performance and physical specs should I expect?

This cable is purpose-built exclusively for 10Gbps links and is not designed for 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps or 5Gbps operation. It uses AWG30 twinax conductors with a PVC (OFNR) jacket, supports typical data-center temperatures, and includes protective dust covers to preserve connector integrity.

• Rated for 10Gbps only — not compatible with lower non-10G speeds.
• Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F); minimum bend radius: 20mm.
• AWG30 conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket and dust caps on each end for durability.

How does choosing a DAC save cost and simplify deployment?

Using a passive DAC replaces two optical SFP+ modules and a fiber patch cord, cutting initial hardware costs and eliminating extra connectors and transceiver wear from repeated swapping. That simplicity improves physical reliability in short-reach connections and speeds up rack provisioning.

• Lower total cost compared with two optical transceivers plus fiber cable.
• Fewer connection points reduce insertion wear and improve long-term stability.
• Plug-and-play installation for fast deployment during upgrades or expansions.

Who is this for? Network engineers and IT teams who need dependable, low-latency 10Gbps links for rack-to-rack, switch-to-server, or switch-to-storage connections will benefit most. Choose FLYPROFiber’s SFP+ DAC when you want a cost-conscious, tested short-reach solution compatible with many major brands and available in practical lengths and multi-packs for datacenter or small business deployments.
