The StarTech.com DACSFP10G2M is a 2 m passive copper SFP+ direct-attach cable for 10 Gbps links, guaranteed compatible with Dell EMC DAC-SFP-10G-2M. It suits IT teams connecting nearby SFP+-equipped switches or other network devices without using a fiber-optic setup.
Recommended For
- IT teams linking Dell EMC switches to nearby SFP+ equipment when they need a short, direct 10Gbps connection without separate optical transceivers.
- Server or network administrators connecting a server to a switch, or switches to each other, within the same rack or across a short nearby run that fits the 2m cable length.
- Homelab or small-business network builders who already have SFP+ ports at both ends and want a simple copper link for short-distance 10GbE connections.
- Administrators standardizing on Dell EMC-compatible links who want a passive, low-power cable and have confirmed that both devices support this DAC.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- Connecting a nearby server or NAS to an SFP+ switch in the same rack: the cable provides a direct 10GbE link without separate fiber transceivers, when both devices support this compatible SFP+ DAC.
- Linking two adjacent SFP+ switches: a short DAC run can serve as the inter-switch connection, keeping the link simple without adding separate optical modules.
- Connecting a workstation near a 10GbE switch to a NAS or storage server: for large file transfers, the 10GbE link can reduce network wait time when both endpoints and the storage drives can keep up.
- Wiring nearby servers in a home lab: a short SFP+ DAC connection can link a server to the lab switch for faster communication with other networked systems, provided the ports and cable are compatible.
