QNAP 10GbE SFP+ Network Cable (9.8')

The QNAP CAB-DAC30M-SFPP is a 9.8 foot direct attach cable that links two devices equipped with SFP+ ports at speeds up to 10 Gb/s. It uses a passive twinaxial copper design, so the connection stays low in latency and power draw without the added cost of optical transceivers.

Each end comes with an SFP+ male connector already in place, making installation as easy as plugging the cable into a switch, server, router, or QNAP NAS. The 3 meter reach is ideal for runs inside a single rack or between adjacent racks where a clean, stable point-to-point link is required.

In practical terms, administrators can use the cable to attach a QNAP NAS to a top-of-rack switch for high speed storage access. It is equally useful for connecting virtualization hosts, backup servers, or core routers that need quick east-west traffic inside a data center or lab environment. Small businesses looking to move up to 10 GbE will appreciate the plug-and-play workflow and the absence of extra power demands.

The cable’s flexible jacket bends easily around cable guides and rails, helping keep crowded racks organized. Because the design is entirely passive, it also contributes less heat to dense equipment rows, supporting better overall airflow and system reliability.
