FAQ
What is the data transfer rate of this DAC cable?
This Axiom DAC cable supports a data transfer rate of 200 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-bandwidth network applications that require fast data transmission between compatible devices. The 200GBASE-CR4 standard ensures reliable performance at this speed over the cable's 0.5-meter length.
What types of devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is designed for Mellanox-compatible network devices, including routers and switches. The QSFP56 connectors provide a standard interface for 200 Gbit/s connections between compatible equipment in data center and enterprise network environments.
What does 'passive' mean for this DAC cable?
A passive DAC cable contains no active electronics for signal processing or retiming. This design simplifies the cable construction, reduces power requirements, and eliminates potential failure points while still supporting the full 200 Gbit/s data rate over short distances up to 0.5 meters.
What is the cable length and why is it important?
This cable measures 0.5 meters (1.6 feet), making it ideal for connections within the same rack or between adjacent equipment. The short length minimizes signal attenuation and cable clutter while providing sufficient reach for typical data center deployments where devices are positioned close together.
