All language subtitles for 10. DAC cable, SFPs

Another copper cable you may come across is a direct attachment cable or DAC cable.

This cable comes in various lense up to 15 meters

users copper Twinax and has SFPs on each end.

An SFP or Small form-factor Pluggable is a hot pluggable transceiver

and may support various media type such as fiber or copper.

thus replaces GBIC or Gigabit Interface Converters

and the one showing here is an enhanced small foam pluggable or SFP+

that supports data rates up to 10 Gbps.

So a DAC cable is inserted into an SFP+ slot
10

and allows for a 10 Gbps connection between 2 devices.
11

Other SFPs or SFP+s will support fiber
12

that can go to the greater lengths.
13

But this cable allows for 10 Gigabit copper connectivity
14

between 2 devices over a short distance such as 7 meters.
