Zyxel DAC10G-3M 10G SFP+ Direct Attach Cable
10GbESFP+ to SFP+Passive Twinax3 m
The Zyxel DAC10G-3M (DAC10G-3M-ZZ0103F) is a 3-metre passive SFP+ direct attach copper cable that links two 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports directly — a low-cost, low-latency, low-power alternative to optical transceivers for short runs across adjacent racks. With fixed SFP+ connectors on both ends and SFF-8432 compliance, it is ideal for connecting Zyxel 10G switches to servers, NICs or other switches. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility: This is a passive DAC: both ends plug into 10G SFP+ ports. It is designed for Zyxel SFP+ switches and adapters and, as an MSA/SFF-8432-compliant passive twinax cable, works with many other vendors' SFP+ ports — but always check your switch's DAC compatibility list first. It is not compatible with 1G-only SFP ports or QSFP/QSFP28 ports, and the length is fixed at 3 m.
Key Features
Direct 10G SFP+ Link
Connects two SFP+ ports for a full 10-Gigabit Ethernet link (data rates up to 10.52 Gbps), ideal for switch-to-switch and switch-to-server runs across nearby racks.
Passive Copper Twinax
A passive design draws almost no power and adds negligible latency — cheaper and cooler than a pair of optical SFP+ modules plus fibre for short distances.
Plug-and-Play, SFF-8432
Fixed SFP+ connectors on both ends comply with the SFP+ MSA (SFF-8432) and are CE/RoHS certified, so there is nothing to configure — just plug in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
For short links between nearby racks, a passive DAC like the DAC10G-3M is almost always the smart choice: it costs a fraction of two optical transceivers plus fibre, runs cooler and adds virtually no latency. Because it is Zyxel-branded it is the safe pick for Zyxel 10G switches; pair it with your network switch and SFP+-equipped servers. If you need to span more than a few metres, use optical SFP+ modules with fibre instead.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need a low-cost, low-power 3-metre 10G link between SFP+ ports across nearby racks, ideally on Zyxel gear.
Skip it if
Your devices are several metres apart, or use 1G SFP or QSFP ports — this cable will not fit those.
Also consider
The 1m DAC10G-1M for shorter runs, an active optical cable for greater distance, or optical SFP+ modules with fibre for long runs.
