What is Direct Attach Copper Cable ?

2017-06-24
DAC is direct attach copper cable assemblies with hot swappable transceiver modules like as SFP+,QSFP,QSFP28. It provide a lower cost,high density interconnect solution alternative for high speed interconnects from 10G to 100G to fiber optics transceivers. Compared with optics transceiver,the direct attach cables providing a cost effective solution that support multiple protocols including 40GbE,100GbE, Gigabit & 10G Ethernet, 8G FC, FCoE and InfiniBand.

In today’s Data Center, more bandwidth is needed to support the use of server virtualization where multiple virtual machines are combined on a single physical host server.To accommodate the ever-growing number of operating systems and applications residing on individual servers, virtualization requires significantly increased data transmission between the servers and switches. At the same time, the amount and type of devices residing on the network has dramatically increased the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to and from storage area networks (SANs) and Network Attached Storage (NAS). The application is mainly for high speed I/O applications in storage, networking and telecom markets,Switches, servers, routers, network interface cards (NICs), Host Bus Adapters (HBAs),High Density and High Data Throughput.

The direct attached cables can also be classified to active DAC and passive DAC. Passive DAC cables have no signal amplification built into the cable assembly hence for ultra short reach, whereas active DAC cables have signal amplification and equalization built into the cable assembly for a litter longer reach in the same time with a higher price.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
