The Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-3M is a high-performance 25G Direct Attach Cable designed to facilitate rapid data transfer within modern networking environments. Measuring 3 meters in length, this copper twinax cable serves as an efficient interconnect solution for high-speed data center infrastructure. It is engineered to provide a stable and low-latency connection, making it an ideal choice for maintaining consistent network performance in demanding enterprise settings.

Advantages

This direct attach cable offers significant benefits for network administrators seeking reliable short-reach connectivity. By utilizing a passive copper design, it minimizes power consumption and eliminates the need for additional optical transceivers, thereby reducing overall operational costs. The cable ensures high signal integrity and seamless integration with existing hardware, providing a robust link that supports high-bandwidth requirements without the complexity of fiber optic installations.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connectivity in data centers
• Switch-to-switch high-speed linking
• Top-of-rack network configurations
• Short-reach interconnects within enterprise server rooms

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance networking, as its performance is optimized for short-reach connections within a single rack or adjacent racks. It is also not compatible with equipment requiring fiber optic interfaces or different connector standards.

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Interface type: Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
• Cable construction: Twinax copper

How to use

To install the Broadbe 25G DAC, simply insert the connector into the SFP28 port of your networking device until it clicks into place. Ensure that both the switch and the server ports are configured to support 25G speeds. No additional software configuration or external power source is required for the cable itself, as it is a plug-and-play solution designed for immediate network deployment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports SFP28 ports
• Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for your rack layout
• Confirm that your equipment is compatible with 25G DAC standards

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the cable is routed with proper bend radius management to prevent physical strain on the connectors. Regularly inspect the connection points to ensure they remain free of dust and debris.
