Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-0.1M 25G Direct Attach Copper Cable 0.1m

The Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-0.1M is a high-performance 25G Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in modern data center environments. Measuring 0.1 meters in length, this passive twinax cable is specifically designed to facilitate short-reach connections between networking equipment, ensuring minimal signal degradation and low latency for critical infrastructure.

Advantages

This 25G DAC cable offers a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short-distance links. By utilizing a passive copper design, it eliminates the need for active power consumption at the connection point, which helps in reducing overall heat generation and operational costs within server racks. Its robust construction ensures reliable data integrity, making it an excellent choice for high-density networking setups where space is limited and performance is paramount.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connectivity in data centers
• Switch-to-switch interconnections within a single rack
• High-speed 25 Gigabit Ethernet networking environments
• Cloud infrastructure and enterprise server clusters

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance networking applications, as its passive copper design is limited to short-reach connections. It is also not compatible with equipment requiring optical fiber interfaces or longer cable runs exceeding the physical reach of the twinax medium.

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: 25 Gbps
• Cable length: 0.1 meters
• Cable type: Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
• Connector type: SFP28
• Media type: Twinax copper

How to use

To install the cable, simply insert the SFP28 connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking hardware, such as switches or network interface cards. Ensure that the equipment is powered off or configured to support hot-swapping before insertion. Push the connector firmly until it clicks into place to ensure a secure physical connection. No additional configuration or software drivers are required for the cable to function.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports SFP28 interfaces
• Ensure the 0.1-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout
• Confirm that the distance between devices does not exceed the cable's physical limitations

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius during installation. Keep the connectors clean and free of dust to maintain signal quality.
