hey everyone! currently for my house, i am running a network stack from unifi, (Pro-4 Gateway -> XG Ag switch -> 16 port POE, 24 Port Gigabit) and i was wondering if there was a cable that exists where it is a DAC cable, but SFP/SFP + on one end, to standard RJ45 on the other. and it it could be bidirectional that would be amazing, or if not i could make it work too.

It doesn't work with SFP on both sides or anything like that. (Or QSFP/QSFP28 for 40 or 100.)

It seems you're considering alternatives. You might want to purchase an SFP to RJ-45 transceiver and then link an RJ-45 cable to it.

This link points to a product page for a 16XG Switch that pairs well with it.

Based on common practices, employing a RJ45 SFP is likely more effective. Many twinax connectors support SFP on both sides, and their design differs from UTP, making it simple to switch to an RJ45 interface by altering the connection type.
