Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 25G SFP28 DAC cable used for?
A 25G SFP28 DAC cable connects high-speed networking equipment in data centers, enabling 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between switches, servers, and storage arrays without the cost of transceiver modules.
Is this cable compatible with my Cisco or HP equipment?
Yes, this ADD-ON CISCO/HP compatible cable is designed to work with Cisco Nexus switches, Cisco UCS systems, and HP/HPE networking platforms that support SFP28 connectivity.
Why choose a DAC cable over transceiver modules?
DAC cables offer significant cost savings, lower power consumption, and reduced latency compared to active transceiver solutions, making them ideal for short-distance, high-bandwidth data center deployments.
Is the 5-meter length suitable for my data center?
The 5-meter cable length is perfect for rack-to-rack connections and intra-datacenter links. For longer distances, consider fiber-based solutions or multiple cable segments.
