Get High Speed Data Transmission with High Quality Direct Attach Cables

Most of the people who use advance technologies such as Cloud and other online applications already know how much they need high speed data rate for accessing them. High speed of data is necessary for advance programs and it is becoming popular. Today to satisfy the growing requirements of the high speed data transmission most of the data centers are changing from 10 GbE to not less than 40 GbE or even more up to 100 GbE. But the cost is a crucial factor that you need to take into account while planning a migration. If you are looking for cost-effective solution for migrating to 40 GbE or even more then choosing direct attach cables or DAC is a good option. Many users don’t know the benefits of these cables so they possibly don’t use them. DAC is generally a useful cable and it is a fixed assembly that provides high speed data and makes use of a small form factor connector module which is similar to optical transceivers on the each ends of the cable. The use of these cables is becoming popular in data centres for various types of


short applications due to the power-saving and cost saving benefits they offer. They are easy to connect and convenient to use. You can connect a direct attach cable to servers, switches, routers, Host Bus Adapters or HBAs and network work interface cards or NICs for achieving high density and data throughput. Why to select the direct attach cables? There are significant benefits with which the direct attach cables can satisfy the increasing demand for high speed data. Before you choose them know the main benefits they offer. They save the cost as they work without the need for expensive components such as optical lasers and other electronic devices. That is on the end of these cables the modules are included that are similar to optical transceivers but they are quite different from them. These modules leave the electronic components and optical lasers that are mostly expensive. Due to this reason they are quite cheaper options than the optical transceivers.

In some cases they are a good alternative to the optical transceivers as they eliminate the connection between the optical cable and transceiver module. For some cases people who want to save money and time choose them. To find them they can search online with keyword like direct attach kabel and choose reliable companies that sell quality direct attach cables. Low power consumption is another benefit of choosing these cables. There is a small component in both the active and


passive direct attach cables that consumes less power when compared to optical transceivers. These cables support high data rate and it is one more benefit for considering them. The DAC cables offer high speed input and output data. One of the frequently used DAC supports a high data rate that is 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s. But with the advancement in the technology these cables are supporting a high data rate of upto 120 Gb/s. So you can find the vendors who probably may offer advanced direct attached cables like 120G CXP cables. These cables meet the small form-factor standards and it is another reason why they are beneficial to choose. Modules at the end of the DAC satisfy the small form-factor standards and this means they inherit the benefits of small form-factor such as space saving. In some situations you needn’t have to upgrade a device using a direct attract cables. Otherwise the various benefits offered by this cable allows in obtaining desired results that you want. These cables are available in various types to meet your requirements. From 40GBASE QSFP+ direct attach cable to all new SFP+ copper direct cable you have various options to look for. Whatever the choice may be this type of cable is becoming popular for data centre deployments. Even the manufacturers of these cables are coming up with new technologies to meet the industrial demands. Directive attach cables are also provided by some vendors. Those who have been using 10GBase-T and other types can even choose the latest type in DAC such as the SFP+ Copper (Twinax) Direct Attach cables that are simple and less expensive solutions than the optical cables.
