Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-0.5M 25G Direct Attach Copper Cable 0.5m

The Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-0.5M is a high-performance 25G Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed data transmission over short distances. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this passive twinax cable is engineered to provide reliable, low-latency connectivity within data centers, enterprise networks, and high-density computing environments. It serves as an efficient interconnect solution for linking switches, servers, and storage hardware, ensuring stable performance for demanding network infrastructures.

Advantages

This cable offers a significant advantage in terms of power efficiency and cost-effectiveness compared to optical transceivers, as it does not require active power components for signal conversion. Its passive design minimizes heat generation and reduces overall power consumption in rack-mounted setups. The robust construction ensures signal integrity for short-reach applications, while the compact 0.5-meter length helps maintain clean cable management in high-density environments by eliminating excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting top-of-rack switches to servers
• Interconnecting storage area network devices
• High-speed data center networking
• Short-reach links within a single server rack

This cable is not suitable for long-distance connections, as its passive copper design is limited to short-reach applications. It should not be used in environments where the required distance between devices exceeds the physical length of the cable or where electromagnetic interference is exceptionally high.

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: 25Gbps
• Cable type: Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Connector type: SFP28
• Application: Short-reach interconnects

To use the Broadbe 25G DAC cable, simply insert the SFP28 connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking equipment, such as switches or network interface cards. Ensure that the devices are powered on and that the ports are configured to support 25G speeds. The cable is hot-swappable, allowing for installation or removal without shutting down the connected hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports SFP28 ports
• Ensure the 0.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout
• Confirm that your equipment is compatible with 25G passive copper technology

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and ensure that the connectors are clean and free of debris before insertion.
