DIGITUS SFP+ 10G Direct Attach Cable, 7m

Up to 10.52 GbpsSFP+ to SFP+7mMSA-coded, AWG 24

The DIGITUS DN-81225 is a 7m SFP+ to SFP+ direct attach cable on AWG 24 twinax copper, for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel links between switches, servers and storage that use standard MSA-coded SFP+ ports.

A DAC replaces two optical transceivers and a fibre patch cord with a single factory-terminated assembly: lower cost, negligible power draw and no fibre end-faces to clean. The trade-off is reach and flexibility — the length is fixed, and copper twinax is meant for links inside one rack or to the rack next to it.

Before you order: It is MSA-coded (universal). Switches that accept only their own vendor-coded modules may refuse it unless they offer an unsupported-transceiver option — tell us your switch model and we will check.

What's in the Box

  • 1 × DIGITUS DN-81225 SFP+ DAC cable, 7m, with SFP+ connectors at both ends
  • Quick start guide

What It Means in Practice

  • 7 m is long for a DAC: it reaches between adjacent racks or along a row through cable trays, where a 1–3 m cable falls short.
  • Data rates from 1.0625 to 10.52 Gbps cover 10GbE, Gigabit Ethernet and 1/2/4/8/10G Fibre Channel on the same cable.
  • Hot-swappable: plug it in or pull it out while both devices are running; the port recognises the cable and brings the link up without separate optics.
  • Measure the real cable route (through cable managers, around the rack posts) before choosing the length — a DAC cannot be shortened, and a long cable coiled inside the rack blocks airflow.

What Will Not Work

  • It will not link in 1G-only SFP ports for 10G traffic — for 10G both ends must be SFP+ ports.
  • Vendor-locked switch ports that reject third-party modules will not bring the link up.
  • It cannot be extended or joined to another cable — if the distance grows, the answer is optics plus fibre, not a second DAC.
  • It is not a breakout cable: it connects one port to one port of the same type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which switch brands does it work with?
DIGITUS lists MSA compatibility with Cisco, Dell, D-Link, Netgear, Juniper, Fortinet, Huawei, ZyXEL, Extreme and others. Brand compatibility still depends on whether the specific port accepts third-party modules, so send us the switch model if you are unsure.
DAC or transceivers with fibre — which should I use?
Inside one rack or between adjacent racks, a DAC is cheaper, draws less power and has fewer parts that can fail. For longer distances, links between rooms or routes that may change later, choose two transceivers and a fibre patch cord instead.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A long DAC like this saves two transceivers and a fibre patch cord when racks sit side by side. For the switches at either end, see our network switches with SFP+ ports.
✓ Buy it if you need a 10G link of up to 7m between MSA-compatible SFP+ ports.
✕ Skip it if your switch accepts only vendor-coded modules, or the run is longer than 7m.
→ Also consider DIGITUS DN-81226 (10 m) for a longer run, or SFP+ SR transceivers with OM3/OM4 fibre beyond that.
Not sure it fits your setup? Send us the model of your rack, switch or device and we will check compatibility before you order.
