Can anyone tell me if these DAC SFP+ items 12928740 are suitable for connecting the UniFi Switch to the UniFi Dream Machine and will perform at full capacity?

Question

Answer

The SFP+ 10G 2m DAC Cable (S/FTP, CAT6, 2m) from Digitus is a copper patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit connections over short distances. Passive DAC cables like this are often used for direct connections between devices with SFP+ ports, for example between UniFi Switches and the UniFi Dream Machine, to achieve full 10 Gigabit performance.

UniFi devices such as the UniFi Dream Machine and UniFi Switches support SFP+ DAC cables for 10G connections, provided the cables are compatible. Ubiquiti guarantees the compatibility of its own SFP+ modules and DAC cables with UniFi devices, while third-party DAC cables often work if they comply with SFP+ standards and are designed as passive twinax cables.

Since the Digitus cable is an SFP+ 10G DAC copper cable, it should generally be compatible with UniFi Switch and UniFi Dream Machine and provide full performance if both devices support SFP+ ports with 10G. It is important that the SFP+ ports on both devices are 10G-capable and that the cable is plugged in correctly.

I cannot give a 100 per cent guarantee for compatibility with the specific UniFi Switch model 12928740, as Ubiquiti only officially guarantees its own modules/DACs. In practice, however, many third-party SFP+ DAC cables that meet the standards work with UniFi devices without any problems.

To summarise: The Digitus SFP+ 10G 2m DAC cable is technically suitable to establish a 10G connection between UniFi Switch and UniFi Dream Machine and provide full performance, provided both devices have 10G SFP+ ports and the cable is used correctly. For maximum security, the use of Ubiquiti's own DAC cables is recommended, but the Digitus cable is a compatible alternative.
