40GE-DAC cable 3M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax Cable is designed for use in 40GBASE Ethernet. It provides a QSFP+ to QSFP+ copper direct-attach solution. This cable is compliant with IEEE 802.3ba Ethernet standard and QSFP MSA Compliant.
With these features, this easy to install, high speed, cost-effective direct attach copper twinax DAC cable is suitable for short-distance connectivity within a rack or between adjacent racks in data centers.
A DAC cable, short for DAC cable, is a type of factory terminated twinax cable that connects directly into transceivers and can be brought in several lengths for short distances of up to 15 meters. These DAC cable consist of fixed lengths of shielded copper coaxial or fiber optic cable with single pluggable transceivers at either end, that have varying gauge values between 24AWG and 30AWG. The DAC cable may be capable of interconnection up to 15 meters using a twinaxial copper cable and reaches 100 meters over an active optical cable at 10Gbps, 40Gbps or higher.
DAC Cable can be either passive or active. The passive direct attach cable has no electrical components, which results in less power consumption. Active direct attach cables are composed of electrical components, so they use more power, but gain more distance and increase signal strength. Active cables are more expensive and consume more power when in use compared to passive cables.
DESIGNED FOR SERVER ROOMS: DAC cable is a cost-effective copper alternative to fiber cable inside & between racks. Factory termination means high performance & reliability with less maintenance.
