Cost-Effective Networking Solution

One of the main functions of DAC cables is to provide cost-effective networking solutions for short distance connections. As an alternative to optical transceivers and fiber optic cabling, 40G transceiver module DAC cable offer comparable performance at a lower cost, making them an economical choice for high-speed data transmission in limited network spaces. By eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling, direct attach copper cable simplify the network setup process, reducing complexity and simplifying connection configuration. This simplicity means easier installation, maintenance and upgrades, increasing the overall agility of the network infrastructure.

What is a Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable?

A Direct Attach Copper cable or a DAC cable is a Twinax copper cable that connects directly the ports (or line cards) within active equipment, such as switches, routers, servers or data storage devices, in a data network.

Why Choose DAC Cables?

1) Less Power Consumption. 

2) Lower Price. 

3) Simpler Deployment. 

4) Convenient for installers.

Where to Use DAC Cables?

High-speed cables are mainly used for transmission in data center cabinets. Because high-speed cables do not use expensive optical components and optical fibers as components, the transmission distance is short and the price is low. It is very suitable for the connection of servers and switches in the cabinet.

Can the 40G port and the 10G port be connected with a cable?

Yes, the 40G AOC/DAC cable has a QSFP+ to 4*SFP+ branch cable. Using this specification cable, the 40G port and the 10G port can be interconnected.

How many kilometers can the DAC fiber optic cable travel farthest?

The longest transmission distance of copper cable DAC is 7M.

What is the transmission medium of DAC cable?

The transmission medium of DAC is copper cable.
