QNAP CAB-DAC15M-SFPP 10GbE SFP+ Twinaxial Cable 1.5M

The QNAP CAB-DAC15M-SFPP is a 1.5-meter SFP+ 10GbE twinaxial direct attach cable designed to provide high-speed network connections between SFP+ equipped devices such as NAS units, managed switches, and servers. Direct attach cables offer a practical advantage over optical transceiver modules for short-distance links: they are less expensive, introduce lower latency, and require no separate transceivers or fiber patch cables. Simply plug each SFP+ connector into a compatible port and the link is established automatically.

At 1.5 meters, this cable is well-suited for connections within a single rack or between closely positioned equipment — a common scenario in small server rooms, home labs, and workgroup environments. The passive twinaxial copper construction draws no additional power and delivers consistent 10Gbps throughput. While QNAP manufactures this cable primarily for use with its own NAS and network products, SFP+ DAC cables generally adhere to industry-standard MSA specifications, making them broadly compatible. That said, it is always worth confirming compatibility with your specific switch or NIC vendor before purchasing.
