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.

Yeah, no. Your closest option would be to buy a SFP to RJ-45 transceiver then connect an RJ-45 cable to that.

As per others just using a RJ45 SFP would be a better play.

 

Most twinax are SFP on both ends.  They're constructed differently than UTP so there's not an easy breakout other than just changing the interface type to RJ45
