DAC cable Digitus SFP+ 10G 0.5m DN-81220

Extend your copper connections with a Digitus® SFP+ 10G 0.5m DAC twinax cable. This AWG 30 direct-attach cable provides a low-latency, short-reach connection for 10G Ethernet and Fibre Channel links between switches and network devices, supporting multiple data rates and industry-standard interfaces for backbone and aggregation layers.

Advantages

The SFP+ 10G DAC cable offers a reliable, passive copper connection that requires no external transceivers, reducing power consumption and system complexity. Its short 0.5 m length and AWG 30 twinax construction enable stable signal integrity for high-speed links while remaining compatible with major switch vendors and commonly used protocols.

How to use

Insert the SFP+ modules of the DAC cable into SFP+ ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring correct orientation and a firm seat until the latch engages. Use the cable for short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks; no external power or optics are required. Verify link status on both devices and configure interface settings according to your switch vendor recommendations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the 0.5 m DAC cable for short-distance connections inside racks or between neighbouring racks, confirm compatibility with your switch model, and follow vendor guidelines for SFP+ port settings and firmware.
