The Extreme Networks 100G-DACP-QSFP1M is a 1-meter direct attach copper (DAC) passive cable designed to deliver high-performance 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections across short distances, primarily within data centers. This compact QSFP passive cable is an economical choice for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices in adjacent racks or within the same rack. It provides low latency and minimal power consumption compared to optical transceivers, supporting efficient data transfer with reliable signal quality. The plug-and-play hot-swappable design allows for easy installation and replacement without disrupting network uptime. With its robust copper construction, the cable ensures durability and resistance to electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity in dense and complex data center environments.
This 1-meter length DAC cable is particularly suited for scenarios requiring ultra-short reach interconnects, helping data centers reduce complexity and cost while maintaining high-speed network performance and scalability.
