DAC
High-Speed DAC Direct Attach Cable
DAC is typically selected where very short reach, low latency and low power are priorities. Cable gauge, length, endpoint form factor and host electrical support are critical to selection.

Selection notes
✓Confirm both endpoint port types and the required data rate.
✓Confirm the maximum practical cable length for the target platform.
✓Confirm straight-through or breakout wiring.
✓Check rack routing, cable weight and bend management before volume deployment.
Connector / cabling note
Endpoint shells and supported length depend on rate, cable gauge and host platform.
