With the popularity of network integrated wiring, fiber optic cable as high bandwidth, high security of data transmission medium is widely used in all sorts of large and medium-sized network, however, due to the fiber optic cable solutions are expensive, so in some cases, high-speed copper core cable still play an important role, such as the SFP + DAC high-speed cable is 10 g data center distance transmission applications of cost-effective solutions. Next, this article will focus on the SFP+ DAC high-speed cable to show how to choose SFP+ DAC high-speed cable and its deployment considerations.


What is an SFP+ DAC high speed cable?

The SFP+ DAC high-speed cable is a passive biaxial cable assembly connected directly to the SFP+ connector, which has the advantages of low power, low cost and low delay. SFP+ DAC high speed cable is the best choice for modern data center short distance high speed 10 gigabit Ethernet applications. Because of its maximum transmission distance of 10 meters, it is commonly used for short distance connections within and between racks, including the interconnection of a rack top switch to servers and storage devices within or adjacent to the rack.


Note on purchasing SFP+ DAC high speed cable

The qualified SFP+ DAC high-speed cable has high reliability and stability. Here are some things to look out for when buying an SFP+ DAC high-speed cable.


(1) Compatibility of SFP+ DAC high-speed cables

Due to the high cost of using the SFP+ DAC high-speed cables provided by OEM or brand suppliers, users are more likely to choose the SFP+ DAC compatible high-speed cables manufactured in the same industry standard. However, if you want to get a brand quality SFP+ DAC high speed cable, it is important to choose a trusted supplier. HTF high-speed cables are tested and compatible with equipment from most major brand suppliers. HTF also has specially designed SFP+ DAC high-speed cable components with different brand compatibility on both sides, so you can not only customize them according to your requirements, but also connect switches of different brand suppliers in this way.


(2) Understand SFP+ DAC high-speed cable product information

To ensure that the network system is stable and runs at high speed, you should fully understand whether the SFP+ DAC high-speed cable has passed ROHS and other certification systems, and whether the storage temperature and MSA meet the requirements.


(3) Selection of SFP+ DAC high-speed cable wire gauge

An important consideration in purchasing SFP+ DAC high speed cables is the wire gauge. SFP+ DAC high speed cables come in a variety of gauges, such as 24AWG, 28AWG, and 30AWG. When choosing a gauge, keep in mind that the longer the distance, the lower the rating.

The SFP+ DAC high speed cable is characterized by low loss, high efficiency and low cost, which can meet the increasing demand of wiring for transmission rate, scalability and reliability. If you are considering deploying the SFP+ DAC high-speed cable to your data center machine room, choose a trusted manufacturer such as HTF. HTF's SFP+ DAC high-speed cables have the same standards and specifications as brand suppliers, but the cost performance is significantly higher. In addition, it also provides customized cable length, color, working temperature and other customized services and professional connection schemes.
