Server to top-of-rack switch
Connect PowerEdge servers with SFP+ adapters to switches like the S4112F-ON at 10GbE.
The simplest, lowest-cost way to connect servers and switches at 10GbE inside a rack.
The Dell SFP+ to SFP+ 10GbE copper twinax direct attach cable (DAC) has an SFP+ connector permanently attached at each end. It connects servers, storage and switches at 10GbE over short distances inside a rack or between neighbouring racks, without separate optical transceivers. Forte Tech sells it in Egypt for 2,700 EGP.
For short 10GbE links between equipment in the same rack.
Connect PowerEdge servers with SFP+ adapters to switches like the S4112F-ON at 10GbE.
Link servers to iSCSI or NAS storage with SFP+ ports inside the rack.
Connect switches to each other for uplinks or stacking over short distances.
A DAC replaces two optical transceivers and a fiber patch cord with a single copper cable, so it costs less, uses less power and has very low latency. Passive DAC cables are ideal for links of a few meters inside a rack or between adjacent racks.
Dell-coded DAC cables are designed for Dell PowerSwitch switches and PowerEdge network adapters. This item is currently out of stock; message us to check availability and the cable length you need. For longer distances, use optics such as the Dell SFP+ LR.
