10G/25G SFP+/SFP28 DAC Cables

Cost-Effective, Low-Latency Copper Interconnects

Overview

The 10/25G Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable family offers a practical and affordable solution for short-range networking. Built with twinax copper cabling and integrated SFP connectors, these cables eliminate the need for separate optical transceivers, reducing both cost and complexity.

Designed for server uplinks, access networks, and data center ToR/MoR architectures, NS DAC cables deliver low latency, near-zero power consumption, and plug-and-play simplicity. Standard options support lengths of up to 10 m (33 ft) at 10G and up to 5 m (16 ft) at 25G, providing flexibility for a variety of deployment scenarios.

Broad Compatibility

NS DACs are validated for multi-vendor interoperability, ensuring seamless integration with switches, servers, and NICs from industry leaders such as:
Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, Arista, NVIDIA/Mellanox, Dell, Extreme, HPE Aruba, Fortinet, and others.

This broad compatibility gives operators confidence to deploy DACs across diverse multi-vendor environments without risk of lock-in.

Product Range

10G SFP+ DAC Cables
Designed for enterprise access and small-to-medium data centers, supporting cable lengths up to 10 m (33 ft).
