The cutting-edge OSFP DAC cables deliver up to 1600Gbps throughput at ultra-low power consumption, coupled with superior mechanical durability and excellent shielding, making it ideal for hyper-scale data centers, machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC). The cutting-edge OSFP DAC cables deliver up to 1600Gbps throughput at ultra-low power consumption, coupled with superior mechanical durability and excellent shielding, making it ideal for hyper-scale data centers, machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing (HPC). A Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a factory-terminated high-speed cable assembly that behaves like "fixed" transceivers with a permanently attached copper or fiber cable. Key characteristics: Media: Copper DAC: shielded twinax conductors (typically 24-30 AWG). AOC: multimode fiber inside a cable with. End-to-end design, manufacturing, and supply-chain orchestration for assemblies—from simple box builds to complex, fully wired electrical cabinets—delivered to spec and certified for any environment. With our technological expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities, you can save on R&D costs. Whether upgrading your data center or improving your office network, DAC cables provide an affordable and efficient alternative to fiber optics. With support for data transfer rates of up to 100 Gbps and an easy plug-and-play setup, these cables are ideal for high-performance environments. In this. NVIDIA ® Mellanox ® LinkX ® InfiniBand DAC cables are the lowest-cost way to create high-speed, low-latency 100G/EDR and 200G/HDR and 400G/NDR links in InfiniBand switching networks and for NVIDIA GPU-accelerated artificial intelligence end-to-end systems. These assemblies feature dual-ended connectors, lock-to-mating parts, and 30AWG Twinax, Temp-Flex Twinax, or round wires/cables. Molex High-Speed Cable Assemblies. What is DAC (Direct Attach Cable)? DAC is a passive copper cable that requires no external power or electronics. It's ideal for short-range, cost-sensitive applications within server racks.
