Grafenthal DIRECT ATTACH CABLE 5M - Καλώδιο

High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short distances demands a reliable, low-latency physical link. This 5-meter passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends delivers exactly that, supporting 10Gbps data transfer rates for data center interconnects, server-to-switch links, and storage area networks. Its 24 AWG copper conductors and 100 Ohm impedance ensure signal integrity, while the passive design keeps power consumption under 0.5W per end, making it an energy-efficient choice for dense rack deployments.

Advantages

Passive DAC cables offer a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short-reach connections. This cable is hot-swappable, allowing for quick installation or replacement without downtime. The PVC jacket provides durability and flexibility, and the black color blends seamlessly into standard rack environments. Compliance with SFF-8431 and IEEE 802.3ae standards guarantees interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment.
