Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-2M 25G SFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable 2m

The Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-2M is a high-performance 25G SFP28 direct attach copper cable designed to facilitate high-speed data transmission in modern networking environments. Measuring 2 meters in length, this passive twinax cable serves as an efficient interconnect solution for linking switches, routers, and servers within data centers and enterprise server rooms. By utilizing a direct copper connection, it ensures minimal latency and high signal integrity for short-reach networking applications.

Advantages

This direct attach copper cable offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to optical transceivers for short-distance connections. Because it is a passive cable, it consumes no power, which helps reduce the overall thermal load and operational costs within high-density rack environments. The robust construction ensures reliable data throughput, while the plug-and-play design allows for quick and seamless installation without the need for complex configuration or additional hardware components.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center networking
• Server-to-switch interconnects
• Top-of-rack (ToR) switching configurations
• High-performance computing clusters
• Enterprise network storage systems

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for long-distance networking applications, as its passive copper design is limited to short-reach connections. It should not be used in environments requiring cable runs exceeding the specified length, as signal degradation will occur.

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP28
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Cable type: Passive Twinax Copper
• Application: Short-reach interconnect

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the SFP28 connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking equipment, such as switches or network interface cards. Ensure that the equipment is powered on and that the ports are configured to support 25G SFP28 connections. The cable is designed for a secure fit, so ensure the latch mechanism is fully engaged to prevent accidental disconnection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports the SFP28 standard.
• Ensure the 2-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout.
• Check the compatibility list of your switch or server manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the cable is routed neatly within the rack to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension, which can affect signal integrity over time.
