Direct Attached Cables (DAC)
Direct Attached Cables (DAC) are essential for high-performance data center connectivity, featuring twinax copper cables with SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP56/QSFP28 modules on both ends. These cables provide direct electrical connections to active equipment, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for intra-rack connections.
Types of DAC Cables:
- Passive DAC: No signal conditioning; ideal for short distances.
- Active DAC: Includes internal signal boosters for longer distances and enhanced performance.
Applications: DAC cables are commonly used to connect switches, servers, and storage devices within racks in data centers.
