Ubiquiti Accessories Series · NDAA & COMPLIANT
Ultra-Low Latency 10Gbps Interconnect for In-Rack Network Stacking
The Ubiquiti UACC-DAC-SFP10 is an NDAA and compliant, high-performance 10 Gbps Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for short-distance, high-speed interconnectivity within enterprise racks, government network setups, and data centers. Measuring 0.5 meters (1.6 ft), this passive SFP+ to SFP+ twinax cable provides an energy-efficient, low-latency alternative to optical transceivers when connecting adjacent UniFi switches, aggregation routers, and network storage systems.

Seamless Plug-and-Play Integration & Thermal Efficiency
Engineered to reduce operational power consumption and eliminate optical conversion overhead, the Ubiquiti UACC-DAC-SFP10 features factory-terminated SFP+ connector assemblies on both ends for instant hot-swappable installation. Its flexible copper jacket allows for tight bend radii within crowded equipment racks, making it an ideal choice for high-density core switch stacking, gateway links, and high-throughput UniFi Protect NVR backbones.
Ultra-Short In-Rack Stacking
Optimized 0.5-meter length prevents cable clutter and reduces airflow obstruction inside rack enclosures, delivering clean connectivity between vertically adjacent devices.
Energy-Efficient Passive Operation
Draws virtually zero electrical power compared to active optical transceivers, lowering overall thermal output and reducing operating costs in multi-switch environments.

Is the Ubiquiti UACC-DAC-SFP10 NDAA compliant?
Yes, as a passive copper interconnect containing no active processors or prohibited vendor technology, it fully complies with NDAA Section 889 guidelines for U.S. federal and government infrastructure projects.
Is the Ubiquiti UACC-DAC-SFP10 compatible with standard SFP+ switch ports?
Yes, it uses industry-standard SFP+ connector ends and is designed for seamless plug-and-play operation across Ubiquiti UniFi switches, routers, and third-party devices with 10G SFP+ ports.
What is the primary advantage of a DAC cable over optical transceivers?
Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables offer significantly lower latency, consume virtually zero additional power, and are more cost-effective for short-distance connections within the same server rack.
Does this cable require additional SFP optical modules or fiber patches?
No, the connectors are integrated permanently onto each end of the copper cable, requiring no additional transceivers or fiber optics.
