Q1: What is the maximum supported distance for this passive DAC cable?
A1: Passive DAC cables typically support distances up to 7–10 meters depending on AWG; this 24AWG version is optimized for stable 10m transmission.

Q2: Is this cable compatible with different switch brands?
A2: Yes, it can be programmed for compatibility with major brands (e.g., Cisco, Juniper, Arista) via EEPROM customization.

Q3: What is the difference between 24AWG and thinner DAC cables?
A3: 24AWG cables offer lower signal attenuation and better performance over longer distances compared to 26/30AWG, but are thicker and less flexible.

Q4: Does this DAC cable support auto-negotiation?
A4: Auto-negotiation depends on the connected devices; the cable itself transparently supports compliant QSFP+ interfaces.

Q5: Can this cable be used for breakout configurations?
A5: No, this is a straight QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable. Breakout applications require QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ DAC cables.

Q6: How is signal integrity verified during production?
A6: Each cable is tested for key parameters including insertion loss, return loss, impedance, and crosstalk to ensure consistent high-speed performance.
