Ubiquiti UC-DAC-SFP+ Unifi Dac Sfp Plus Cable

Product Description

The UBIQUITI UC-DAC-SFP+ is a Direct Attach Copper (DAC) twinax cable terminated with SFP+ connectors on each end. DAC cables provide a low-latency, low-power alternative to optical transceivers for short-distance 10G connections within a rack or between adjacent racks. The cable integrates the transceiver modules directly into the connector housing, eliminating the need for separate SFP+ optics. Network technicians and IT infrastructure professionals install this type of cable to link switches, servers, and storage devices over short runs without the cost overhead of fiber optics.

DAC SFP+ cables are used in data center, enterprise networking, and commercial IT environments where 10G connectivity is required over short intra-rack or inter-rack distances. Typical installation scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to server NICs, linking stacked switching equipment, or connecting network appliances that require SFP+ interfaces. This cable is suited for structured cabling environments managed under the UniFi network platform.

Key Features

• Integrated SFP+ connectors eliminate the need for separate transceiver modules
• Direct Attach Copper twinax construction provides low latency and reduced power draw compared to active optical alternatives
• Passive cable design requires no active electronics in the cable assembly
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard DAC interconnect for use with SFP+ ports on compatible 10G switches, network interface cards, and appliances within the UniFi ecosystem.

Installation Notes

DAC SFP+ cables are installed by qualified network technicians familiar with structured cabling and 10G switching infrastructure. Power down or disable the relevant switch port before seating or removing the cable to avoid interface errors. Ensure the SFP+ connector is fully seated and latched in each port before bringing the link up. Follow TIA-568 and applicable data center cabling standards for cable management and bend radius.
