Zyxel DAC10G-1M-ZZ0103F InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ Black

The Zyxel DAC10G-1M-ZZ0103F is a 1 m direct attach copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach, high-speed links, this black 1‑metre cable provides a low-latency, reliable connection for data center interconnects, top-of-rack switching and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

Industry-standard SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with SFP+ ports from multiple vendors. The direct-attach design offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to active optics for short distances. Hot‑swappable SFP+ connectors make installation and maintenance simple without powering down devices. The cable’s passive DAC construction provides consistent, low-latency performance and durability for rack-to-rack or switch-to-server connections.

Suitable for

• Server to switch or switch to switch links in data centers
• Top-of-rack (ToR) connectivity
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Short-reach 10 Gigabit links where SFP+ ports are available

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the devices until the latch clicks. Use this cable for short-distance connections (within the same rack or adjacent racks). No external power or configuration is required for passive DAC operation; the connected devices should detect the link automatically. For hot-swap, remove or install the cable while monitoring device port status as needed.

Recommendations

Use the DAC10G-1M-ZZ0103F in environments where short, high-throughput, low-latency links are needed. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain recommended bend radius and route the cable to prevent strain. Confirm SFP+ port compatibility with your switches or servers prior to installation.
