FAQ
The 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ Active Direct Attach Copper (A-DAC) Cable is engineered for high-speed, short-distance interconnects in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments. With a 15-meter length and 24AWG copper construction, this active DAC cable ensures reliable 40G connectivity with enhanced signal integrity over longer short-reach distances compared to passive cables.
Designed for QDR (Quad Data Rate) applications, the cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission between QSFP+ ports on switches, servers, or storage systems. The active circuitry embedded within the cable compensates for signal attenuation, providing stable and efficient 40G links for demanding network deployments.
Its compact and flexible design reduces cable bulk, improves airflow, and simplifies rack organization. FiberMania also offers OEM/ODM customization, including cable lengths, labeling, and packaging to suit specific deployment or project requirements.
