The Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable is gaining popularity in the networking industry, and the Intellinet Network Solutions 25G SFP28 Passive DAC Twinax Ethernet Cable (10ft) is a standout option.Our passive 25G SFP28 DAC Twinax cable is an energy-efficient, low-latency, and cost-effective alternative to fiber optic and RJ45 cables. It's perfect for short-distance connections between switches, routers, servers, and storage devices, whether it's for Top of Rack (ToR) setups, adjacent racks, or 25GbE switch stacking.The SFP28 DAC cable is made from a twinax copper wire and features SFP28 connectors on both ends, providing a direct electrical connection to active equipment. Its low power consumption (less than 0.15W) and efficient thermal design help reduce operational costs. Plus, it produces no heat during use, which means it works well in a wider temperature rangeup to 70°C (158°F)making it ideal for data centers.With a simple internal structure and fewer components compared to fiber cables, this DAC cable is more affordable, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. This also makes deployment easier since there are fewer parts to match. DAC cables are convenient to store as well, as they dont require cleaning or inspection before reuse.When upgrading or replacing network equipment, the cables Hot Swapping capability ensures quick and easy connections. However, keep in mind that passive DAC cables are best suited for shorter distances, with a maximum transmission range of 7 meters (23 feet).This cable supports data transfer rates of up to 25 Gbps, offering low-latency performance for high-bandwidth applications.
