Global DAC (Direct Attach Cable) High Speed Copper Cable Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global DAC (Direct Attach Cable) High Speed Copper Cable market size is expected to reach $ 1957 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 7.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
In 2025, global DAC (Direct Attach Cable) High Speed Copper Cable production reached approximately 18000 k units with an average global market price of around US$ 66 per unit. The production capacity for DAC (Direct Attach Cable) High Speed Copper Cable in 2025 was approximately 20000 k units. The typical gross profit margin for DAC (Direct Attach Cable) High Speed Copper Cable is between 20% and 40%. DAC (Direct Attach Cable) High Speed Copper Cable is a short-reach, high-speed copper interconnect solution used primarily in data centers, AI servers, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems. It directly connects switches, servers, and storage devices via twinax copper cables, offering advantages such as low power consumption, low latency, cost efficiency, and plug-and-play deployment. DAC cables are typically used for distances ranging from 0.5 to 3 meters (up to 5–7 meters in some cases) and support data rates including 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, 200G, and 400G.
The DAC high-speed copper cable market is driven by the rapid expansion of data centers, cloud computing, AI servers, and high-performance computing infrastructure. In short-reach interconnect applications, DAC offers significant advantages over AOC and optical transceivers in terms of cost and power efficiency, maintaining a strong market position particularly below 100G and in selected 400G use cases. As AI clusters scale up, demand for 400G and emerging 800G DAC is increasing; however, DAC faces growing substitution pressure from AEC and optical interconnects in longer-reach and ultra-high-speed applications. Overall, the market is characterized by cost efficiency, dominance in short-reach connections, and gradual differentiation at higher data rates.
