Description:
The Cisco QSFP-100G-CU5M is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections within data centers and enterprise networks. It uses passive twinaxial copper cabling to transmit data at speeds of up to 100Gbps over a maximum distance of 5 meters.
Benefits of Cisco QSFP-100G-CU5M:
Cost-effective: DACs are generally less expensive than optical transceivers, making them a good choice for short-distance connections.
Low power consumption: Passive DACs do not require any external power source, which helps to reduce overall power consumption in your network.
Easy to install: DACs are hot-swappable, meaning they can be inserted or removed from a live network without interrupting traffic.
Applications:
High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
Data center interconnection
Enterprise core and distribution layers
Things to Consider:
DACs have a limited reach compared to optical transceivers.
The quality of the copper cable can affect performance.
DACs are not suitable for use in harsh environments.
