QNAP CAB-DAC30M-SFPP

Overview

The QNAP CAB-DAC30M-SFPP is a 9.8-foot direct attach cable designed to connect devices with SFP+ ports at speeds up to 10 Gb/s. It provides a reliable, low-latency link using a passive twinaxial copper design, eliminating the need for costly optical transceivers. This cable is ideal for short-distance connections within a rack or between adjacent racks, making it a practical choice for data centers, labs, and small business networks upgrading to 10 GbE.

Key features

• SFP+ connectors on both ends enable straightforward, plug-and-play installation without additional hardware.
• Passive twinax copper design reduces power consumption and heat generation, supporting better airflow and system stability.
• 3-meter length offers sufficient reach for full rack connections while minimizing signal loss and maintaining performance.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to link devices that support SFP+ ports, such as top-of-rack switches, servers, routers, and NAS units. Its compatibility with QNAP and other brands makes it a versatile choice for establishing high-speed, point-to-point connections within data centers or network closets. The direct attach nature simplifies setup by removing the need for separate transceivers, reducing both cost and complexity.

Ideal uses and environments

The CAB-DAC30M-SFPP fits well in environments where short, high-speed connections are needed, such as inside a single rack or between adjacent racks in data centers and labs. It supports fast storage access, virtualization hosts, backup servers, and core routing equipment. Small businesses moving to 10 GbE networks will find this cable a cost-effective and efficient solution for upgrading their infrastructure without adding extra power or cooling requirements.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
