DAC & AOC Cables

Cost-effective short-reach interconnects for top-of-rack and switch-to-switch links — passive copper, active copper and active optical options.

DAC direct attach copper and AOC active optical cables

High-Density, Low-Power Short Reach

DAC cables offer the lowest cost and power for links within and between adjacent racks, while AOC cables combine optical reach with lightweight, EMI-resistant fiber. Both are fully coded for the major platforms.

DAC types	Passive, active and breakout (1-to-2, 1-to-4) copper
AOC types	Active optical cables and hybrid AOC assemblies
Form factors	SFP/SFP+/SFP28, QSFP+/QSFP28/QSFP-DD, OSFP
Data rates	10G / 25G / 40G / 100G / 200G / 400G / 800G
Typical reach	DAC 1-7 m; AOC up to 100 m
Compatibility	Cisco, Juniper, Arista, NVIDIA Mellanox, Dell, HPE
Options	Custom lengths, labels, pull-tabs and color coding
Certifications	CE, FCC, RoHS, ISO9001

How to Choose

DAC vs AOC

DAC

Direct Attach Copper

Lowest cost per link and zero power (passive); ideal for in-rack and adjacent-rack connections under a few meters.

AOC

Active Optical Cable

Longer reach, lighter weight and immunity to electromagnetic interference across crowded racks and aisles.

BRK

Breakout Cables

Split a high-speed port into multiple lower-speed links, e.g. 40G to 4x10G or 100G to 4x25G.

ACC

Active Copper

Signal conditioning built into the connectors for longer copper runs and tighter signal integrity.
