According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global DAC Passive Copper Cable market size was valued at US$ 167 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 267 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.2% during review period.
In 2025, global DAC Passive Copper Cable production reached approximately 2700 k units with an average global market price of around US$ 60 per unit. The production capacity for DAC Passive Copper Cable in 2025 was approximately 3000 k units. The typical gross profit margin for DAC Passive Copper Cable is between 20% and 40%. A DAC Passive Copper Cable is a high-speed data center interconnect that uses twinax copper conductors without any active signal conditioning or amplification components. It provides direct electrical connections between servers, switches, and storage equipment over short distances, typically within the same rack or adjacent racks. Passive DAC cables support data rates such as 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, 200G, and limited 400G, offering low power consumption, ultra-low latency, high reliability, and cost efficiency, making them a preferred solution for short-reach connectivity in modern data centers and AI server clusters.
The DAC Passive Copper Cable market is driven by the continued expansion of data centers, increasing AI server density, and ongoing upgrades of high-speed switching ASICs. Passive DAC remains the dominant interconnect solution at 100G and below, and continues to be widely deployed in 200G–400G rack-level connections due to its strong cost advantage and zero power consumption, despite distance limitations. Overall, the market is characterized by declining ASPs, rising shipment volumes, and increasing penetration in AI and HPC environments, while maintaining a complementary position alongside AEC and AOC solutions.
