According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Direct Attach Cable for Data Center market size was valued at US$ 1234 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1957 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 7.3% during review period.
Direct cable DAC is a twisted pair network cable used to connect switches, routers and servers for networking. Within the data center, DAC not only meets the needs of high-speed interconnection, but also has extremely low power consumption and heat generation compared with optical modules, reducing the burden on the computer room air conditioner. It has the advantages of low cost and low failure rate, making it an ideal data center The most cost-effective interconnection solution. In 2025, global Data Center Backup Power System production reached approximately 18000.6 k units, with an average global market price of around US$66.6 per unit.The production capacity for Data Center Backup Power System in 2025 was approximately 20000 k units. The typical gross profit margin for Data Center Backup Power System is between 20% and 40%.
The Direct Attach Cable (DAC) market for data centers is driven by the rapid growth of cloud computing, AI training workloads, and high-performance computing (HPC), which require low-latency, high-bandwidth, and cost-effective short-distance interconnect solutions. DACs are widely used for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections within racks and rows, especially in 100G, 400G, and emerging 800G applications. Compared with optical cables, DACs offer lower power consumption and lower total cost of ownership (TCO), making them a preferred choice for high-density, short-reach connections in hyperscale and enterprise data centers. Key growth regions include North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, while industry trends focus on higher data rates, improved signal integrity, and the adoption of advanced materials such as FEP and high-frequency copper conductors.
