Customize DAC & AOC High-Speed Cable Solution

Q1: What is a DAC breakout cable used for?
A: It splits a single high-speed port (100G QSFP28) into multiple lower-speed ports (4×25G SFP28), improving port utilization.

Q2: Is this cable active or passive?
A: This is a passive DAC cable, meaning it requires no additional power and has very low latency.

Q3: What is the advantage of 24AWG copper?
A: 24AWG provides better signal integrity and supports slightly longer reach compared to thinner gauge DAC cables.

Q4: What is the maximum recommended length?
A: For 24AWG passive DAC, typical reliable range is up to 5 meters depending on equipment compatibility.

Q5: Is it compatible with all switches?
A: It can be coded for compatibility with major vendors such as Cisco, Arista, Juniper, and NVIDIA platforms.
