DAC copper cable is a cable component with fixed connectors at both ends, used in regional networks, data centers, and servers.
The characteristics of DAC copper cables are low cost, low energy consumption, but close distance and small bandwidth; The speed and performance depend on the type of cable, connector quality, and network device performance.
According to different energy sources, DACs are divided into two types: passive DACs and active DACs.
(1) Active DAC: can compensate for attenuation of electrical signals and provide longer transmission distances.
(2) Passive DAC: Low cost, low power consumption, is currently the mainstream product.
Product | Transmission medium | Cable diameter | Transmission distance | Power dissipation | Cost |
Passive DAC | copper | big | ≤10m | low | low |
Active DAC | copper | middle | ≤15m | middle | middle |
AOC | optical fiber | small | ≤100m | high | high |
