Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable compatible with non-Dell EMC SFP+ equipment?
While specifically tested for Dell EMC, this cable complies with MSA industry standards, meaning it should function with other MSA-compliant SFP+ ports, though guaranteed performance is for Dell EMC.
What is the maximum distance this 10Gbps DAC cable can support?
This specific cable is 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length, designed for very short-distance, intra-rack connections. Longer DACs exist but have distance limitations.
Does this cable require any special drivers or configuration?
No, as a passive direct-attach cable, it is plug-and-play and does not require any drivers or complex configuration, simplifying deployment.
What are the advantages of a passive copper DAC over fiber optic transceivers for short distances?
Passive copper DACs are more cost-effective, consume less power, and generate less heat than fiber optic transceivers for short-reach connections, reducing TCO.
