FAQs
What is a direct attach cable and how does it differ from optical SFP+ cables?
A direct attach cable (DAC) is a copper-based SFP+ cable that connects two ports without requiring transceiver modules. Unlike optical SFP+ cables, DACs offer lower cost, reduced latency, and simpler deployment, though they are limited to shorter distances—typically up to 10 metres for 10Gbps connections.
Is this cable compatible with UniFi switches?
Yes, this cable is designed for Ubiquiti UniFi switching infrastructure. It works with any UniFi switch or network device equipped with SFP+ ports.
What is the maximum cable length supported for 10Gbps data rates?
This product is supplied as a 3-metre cable. For 10Gbps connectivity, direct attach cables are typically supported up to 10 metres, though actual performance may depend on cable quality and switch specifications.
Can I use this cable for both 10Gbps and 1Gbps connections?
Yes, this cable supports both 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps data rates. It will automatically negotiate the appropriate speed with compatible equipment.
What warranty coverage is included?
The Ubiquiti SFP+ Direct Attach Cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is this suitable for data centre applications?
Yes, direct attach cables are widely used in data centres for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnections due to their low latency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
