Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 passive DAC cable?
A QSFP28 passive direct attach cable (DAC) is a copper-based interconnect that connects two QSFP28 ports without requiring active electronics. Passive DACs are ideal for short-distance connections (typically up to 5 meters) and offer lower cost and latency compared to active optical alternatives.
Is this 100GBASE-CR4 cable compatible with my Ubiquiti equipment?
Yes, the Axiom UACC-DAC-QSFP28-3M-AX is specifically designed for Ubiquiti-compatible systems and comes pre-configured with application-specific code for seamless integration. Verify your equipment supports 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 connectivity before deployment.
What are the advantages of a passive QSFP28 DAC over active cables?
Passive QSFP28 direct attach cables offer lower power consumption, reduced latency, and significantly lower cost compared to active optical cables. They require no external power and provide reliable performance for distances up to 3 meters, making them ideal for data center rack interconnections.
Can I use this cable for longer distances?
The 3-meter length is optimized for short-reach connectivity within data center environments. For distances beyond 5 meters, consider active optical cables or fiber-based solutions to maintain signal integrity and performance standards.
