Beyondtech recently started its Series of SFP DAC Cabling with the launch of our 10G SFP+ Direct Attach

Cable (DAC): a high-performance, cost-eﬀective and versatile solution for network applications.

Built with ﬁrst-class manufacturers, our DAC Cable comes with 10G SFP+ to 10G SFP+ adapters on both

ends. It has also been made with #30 AWG, a small diameter cable design that oﬀers convenient

ﬂexibility when it comes to handling its installation and usage.

This conﬁguration also makes our DAC more eﬃcient and durable than regular Fiber Patch Cords,

enabling the user to set up a ﬁrmer - and hence more robust- connection between his devices.

Versatility was one of our guiding principles throughout the design of this product, so our DAC was built

following the SFF-8431, SFF-8432 and SFF-8472 speciﬁcations, which makes it compatible with a vast

number of devices made by the most reputable brands in switches, routers and networks servers.

10G SFP+ DAC Cable Typical Applications

Amongst DAC Cable’s most typical applications, the following ones should be remarked: Switches,

Networking (servers, routers and hubs), Enterprise storage, Telecommunication equipment, and

Network Interface Cards (NIC’s)

The most common application of 10G SFP+ DAC’s consists of connecting switches/servers to switches

that are in the rack or very close to them in any case. That being said, these 10G DAC cables could be

eﬀectively employed as an option for what are called ToR (or Top of Rack) connections between switch

and servers.

DIRECT ATTACH CABLE APPLICATION GUIDE 10G SFP+ DAC’s perform in an optimal way for data transmission lengths of around (or less than) 7 meters that ask for low power consumption and latency. This scenario is very convenient for the use of 10G SFP+ DAC’s in connections within a relatively small range between servers and switches.
