Direct-attach koperkabel (DAC) CBO CPAC-DAC-10G-1M 10 Gbit/s, 1 m

CBO CPAC-DAC-10G-1M is a Direct Attach Copper (DAC) twinax cable that delivers a fixed 10 Gbps connection over a 1 meter length. Intended for short-range, high-speed links between switches, servers and other network devices, the cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and provides a low-latency copper connection suitable for data center environments and rack-to-rack interconnects.

Advantages

The DAC twinax construction provides stable 10 Gbps throughput with low power consumption and minimal signal conversion overhead. Its one-meter length reduces excess cabling in dense racks and helps maintain tidy airflow and cable management. As a direct-attach copper solution, it simplifies installation by offering a plug-and-play connection and reduces component count compared with separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cords.

Suitable for

• Short-range connections between switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Top-of-rack and middle-of-row network aggregation in data centers
• Direct 10 Gbps links between network devices for low-latency applications

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Twinax Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector style: Fixed copper plug ends for direct attachment (integrated connectors)
• Typical use range: Short-reach (rack-to-rack, within-rack)
• Latency: Low (copper direct-attach link)

How to use

Insert each integrated connector into the corresponding 10G SFP+ port on the network devices, ensuring the connector latch engages securely. No transceiver module or additional optical cable is required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and to maintain recommended bend radius for twinax cables. Verify link status in the device management interface and ensure port settings match the 10 Gbps link speed and duplex configuration.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 1 m DAC cable for short-distance interconnects only; avoid deploying it for longer spans. Keep the cable away from heat sources and maintain proper airflow in racks. Ensure compatibility with device SFP+ ports by confirming supported direct-attach copper connections in device documentation.
