As two kinds of commonly used transceiver assemblies both direct attach copper cable and aoc cable have their advantages and disadvantages.
Direct attach copper to rj45.
Show recommended products to connect copper ethernet cables to sfp ports use the uf rj45 10g in an sfp port for speeds of up to 10 gbps and distances of up to 30 m or use the uf rj45 1g in an sfp.
Sfp optics include sfp fiber devices and sfp direct attach copper dac cables.
The following figure shows leading types of passive and active cable for data center.
It is the first 10g copper sfp rj45 module that offers 10gb s communication over ethernet copper cables which is compliant with sff 8431 and sff 8432 msa standard.
Fs dac twinax cable solutions provide optical inter connectivity at data rates up to 400gb s and link distances up to 10m while achieving high port density configurability and utilization.
Direct attach copper cables can either be passive or active while aoc cables are always active.
A direct attach copper cable or a dac cable is a twinax copper cable that connects directly the ports or line cards within active equipment such as switches routers servers or data storage devices in a data network.
For short distances of 1 to 3 m use the udc 1 udc 2 or udc 3 direct attach passive copper cables between sfp ports for speeds of up to 10 gbps.
They dominate the 10gbps connectivity solution in the core or spine due to the longer link lengths and higher aggregated data bandwidth.
The 10g sfp rj45 module delivers compatibility with cat 6a 7 cable structured cabling with up to 100m link distance at a minimum of 0 5w power saving per port over embedded 10gbase t rj45 port.
However 10gbase t cable cat 6a 7 is proven to be unbeaten for its lower cost ease of installation and reliable performance.
Hpe aruba 10g sfp to sfp 1m direct attach copper cable j9281d limited product lifetime warranty sku.
Sfp direct attach as implied in the name uses sfp msa and by using the inexpensive copper twinaxial cable with sfp connectors on both sides provides 10 gigabit ethernet connectivity between devices with sfp interfaces.
