Digitus Professional SFP+ 10G DAC Cable — 0.5 m, HPE coded
0.5 mSFP+ to SFP+10 GbpsHPE coded
The Digitus Professional DN-81220-01 is a 0.5 m SFP+-to-SFP+ direct attach copper (DAC) cable that links two 10G ports — switch to switch, switch to server network card or switch to storage — without buying two optical transceivers and a fibre patch cord.
This is the HPE-coded version: its module EEPROM identifies it so that HPE/Aruba and H3C switches accept it as a supported cable. Digitus specifies it for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel links between switches in backbone areas, with DDM/DOM support so the switch can read module information.
Before you order: This cable is coded for HPE/Aruba and H3C switches. For Cisco, Dell, Juniper, MikroTik or other ports that expect MSA/universal modules, order DN-81220 instead.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Digitus SFP+ DAC cable, 0.5 m, with fixed SFP+ plugs on both ends
- 1 × quick installation guide
What It Means in Practice
- 0.5 m is enough to join two ports on the same switch or two devices stacked directly above each other in the same rack.
- No transceivers to buy: each end is a fixed SFP+ plug, so one cable replaces two short-range optics plus a fibre patch cord — less cost and lower latency on short links.
- Plug it into the SFP+ cage at each end; the link comes up at 10G when both ports support that speed.
- Copper twinax is thicker and stiffer than fibre — leave a gentle loop at the port instead of folding it sharply against the cage.
What Will Not Work
- RJ45 / 10GBASE-T copper ports — a DAC needs a SFP+ cage at both ends.
- QSFP+/QSFP28 ports — this cable has SFP+ plugs and does not fit 40/100G ports without an adapter.
- Runs longer than 0.5 m — the length is fixed; for longer distances use SFP+ optics and fibre.
- 1G-only SFP ports — many of them do not link with a 10G DAC; check with us first.
Key Features
Direct attach, no optics
Factory-terminated SFP+ plugs on twinax copper. Nothing to clean, no separate transceivers to match or lose.
HPE coding
Coded for HPE/Aruba and H3C switches, so the switch recognises it as a supported module.
Data rate
1.0625–10.52 Gbps (10GbE at 10.3125 Gbps)
Power and temperature
3.3 V supply, 0.5 W power consumption, operating temperature 0 to 70 °C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A DAC is the most economical way to connect 10G equipment that sits close together. The two decisions are length and coding: measure the real cable path (not the straight-line distance) and match the coding to the switch brand. Browse our switches if you are planning the rest of the link.
✓ Buy it if you are connecting two SFP+ ports up to 0.5 m apart on HPE/Aruba or H3C switches.
✕ Skip it if your ports are RJ45, your run is longer than 0.5 m, or your switch is not HPE/Aruba/H3C.
→ Also consider DN-81220 — the same Digitus 0.5 m SFP+ DAC with universal MSA coding for Cisco, Dell, Juniper and other ports.
