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

Will this work with my switch?
It is built for Zyxel 10G SFP+ switches and adapters. As an MSA/SFF-8432-compliant passive DAC it also works with many other brands' SFP+ ports, but some switches only accept cables on an approved list — check your switch's DAC compatibility before ordering.
What is the difference between a passive DAC and optical SFP+ modules?
A passive DAC is a single fixed copper cable with SFP+ ends — cheaper, cooler and lower-latency for short runs (here 3 m). Optical SFP+ modules plus fibre are needed for longer distances but cost more and use more power.
Can I use it in an SFP (1G) or QSFP port?
No. It is a 10G SFP+ cable and needs SFP+ ports on both ends. It will not work in 1G-only SFP ports or in QSFP/QSFP28 ports, which use a different form factor.
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.
