The Ubiquiti UniFi 10G Direct Attach Copper Cable (Model: UACC-DAC-SFP10-3M) is a 3-meter (9.8 ft) passive twinax cable assembly factory-terminated with integrated SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed specifically for high-speed, short-distance inter-rack and intra-rack networking, it bridges UniFi gateways, aggregation switches, and core network switches at full 10 Gbps line rates without the added cost and thermal overhead of fiber optic transceivers.
Operating passively over 30 AWG twinaxial copper cabling, the UACC-DAC-SFP10-3M provides near-zero latency and ultra-low power consumption (under 0.1 W per end). Hot-swappable and natively recognized within the UniFi Network application, it features durable die-cast zinc connector housings with strain relief boots and pull-release latching mechanisms for secure, tool-free installation in high-density rack configurations.
Comprehensive Key Features:
10 Gbps High-Speed Interconnect: Delivers full 10 Gbps bi-directional throughput for high-bandwidth switch stacking and gateway uplink connections.
Passive Copper Architecture: Ultra-low latency transmission with near-zero power consumption compared to optical SFP+ transceivers and copper RJ45 modules.
Integrated SFP+ Connectors: Pre-terminated with hot-swappable SFP+ modules on both ends for instant plug-and-play deployment.
Optimal 3-Meter Reach: Ideal length for spanning adjacent server racks, connecting patch panel switch stacks, or routing across rack units (RUs).
Durable Twinax Cable Design: Flexible 30 AWG twinaxial wiring with a durable PVC outer jacket designed for clean rack routing.
Native UniFi Integration: Automatically detected and monitored within the UniFi Network software interface for link speed status and port telemetry.
