Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-5M 25G SFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable 5m

The Broadbe BCC-DAC-25G-5M is a high-performance 25G SFP28 direct attach copper cable designed to facilitate high-speed data transmission over short distances. With a length of 5 meters, this passive twinax cable is engineered to provide a stable and low-latency connection, making it an essential component for modern data center infrastructure. It supports high-bandwidth requirements, ensuring efficient communication between networking hardware.

Advantages

This direct attach copper cable offers a cost-effective solution for high-speed networking by eliminating the need for separate optical transceivers. Its passive design ensures minimal power consumption and heat generation, which contributes to overall energy efficiency in server racks. The cable provides reliable signal integrity for 25Gbps throughput, reducing the risk of data loss or connection instability in demanding enterprise environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches
• Switch-to-switch interconnects within a data center
• High-speed storage area network configurations
• Short-reach networking links in enterprise environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance networking, as its passive copper design is limited to short reaches. It may not be suitable for environments requiring cable lengths exceeding 5 meters or for installations where high electromagnetic interference is present.

Key specifications

• Data transfer rate: 25Gbps
• Connector type: SFP28
• Cable length: 5 meters
• Cable type: Passive Twinax Copper

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 off or configured to support hot-swapping before insertion. The cable is plug-and-play, meaning it does not require additional software configuration or drivers to establish a link.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports SFP28 ports
• Ensure the 5-meter length is sufficient for your rack layout
• Confirm that your hardware is compatible with passive DAC technology

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the cable is routed through cable management systems to prevent sharp bends or physical strain on the connectors. Avoid placing the cable near high-voltage power lines to maintain signal quality.
