- Significantly lower power consumption and price than fiber optic cables
- Lower signal latency than RJ45 connections
- Easier to use as a cable in optical transceivers as fewer components need to match
- Passive DAC as ideal option in structured cabling for short distance applications up to 7 m
- No heat generation, suitable for high ambient temperatures up to 70°C
- Hot-swappable for network upgrades or replacement with seamless transition
Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables are becoming increasingly popular in the networking industry.
Our passive QSFP+ 40G DAC Twinax cable is a cost-effective alternative to RJ45 and fiber optic cables, with energy efficiency and low latency.
It is an excellent choice for short-distance structured cabling between switches and routers on one side and servers and storage on the other, whether in Top of Rack (ToR), Adjacent Rack, 40G stacking switches or similar applications.
No heat generation and suitable for extreme ambient temperatures - ideal for data centersQSFP+ DAC consists of twinaxial copper cable terminated to QSFP+ connectors at both ends, providing electronic connectivity directly into active components.
Due to its thermal design, this passive cable consumes less than 0.15W, which reduces your power consumption and therefore your costs.
Because it doesn't produce heat, it's much more versatile, even in extreme ambient temperatures up to 70 C°, which in turn makes it especially valuable for data centers.
Please note: This passive QSFP+ 40G DAC Twinax cable is MSA compliant and thus designed, programmed and tested for use with switches and routers from Cisco, Intellinet Network Solutions, ZyXEL, TP-Link, Ubiquiti, D-Link, Edimax, Allnet, Allied Telesis, Digitus, KTI Networks, LevelOne, PLANET, Tenda, TRENDnet, ZTE, Avaya, Mikrotik, Enterasys, Finisar, Dell Force10, Riverstone, Fortinet and more.
