Global DAC Active Copper Cable Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global DAC Active Copper Cable market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1048 million in 2025 to US$ 1813 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global DAC Active Copper Cable production reached approximately 15300 k units with an average global market price of around US$ 70 per unit. The production capacity for DAC Active Copper Cable in 2025 was approximately 16000 k units. The typical gross profit margin for DAC Active Copper Cable is between 20% and 40%. DAC Active Copper Cable is a high-speed interconnect solution that integrates active signal conditioning components—such as retimers, equalizers, or driver ICs—into traditional Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables. It is primarily used for intra-rack and short-reach inter-rack connections in data centers, AI servers, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Compared with passive DACs, active copper cables compensate for signal attenuation and crosstalk in copper media, enabling higher data rates and longer reach while maintaining advantages in low latency, low power consumption, and cost efficiency, especially in 400G and higher-speed applications.
The DAC Active Copper Cable market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the expansion of AI servers, upgrades to high-speed Ethernet, and increasing compute density in cloud data centers. As the deployment of 400G and 800G ports accelerates, passive DACs face limitations in reach and signal integrity, positioning active copper cables as a critical short-reach interconnect option between passive DACs and Active Electrical Cables (AECs). Active DACs offer clear advantages in cost, power consumption, and deployment simplicity compared with AECs and AOCs, particularly for high-bandwidth links in the 2–5 meter range. Going forward, market growth will be fueled by large-scale AI clusters, higher switch port speeds, and sustained demand for low-power, low-TCO interconnect solutions.
