The benefits of Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable over fiber optic and RJ45 cables

The Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable is becoming increasingly popular in the network industry. Our passive SFP+ 10G DAC Twinax cable is an energy-efficient, low-latency and cost-effective alternative to fiber optic and RJ45 cabling. It's an excellent choice for short-distance structured cabling between switches and routers on one end and servers or storage on the other, be it in Top of Rack (ToR), adjacent rack, stacking of 10GbE switches or similar applications.

Close to zero power consumption and a wide temperature range

SFP+ DAC is comprised of a twinax copper cable terminated with SFP+ connectors on both ends, which can provide an electrical connection directly into active equipment. Consuming less than 0.15 W due to its thermal design, this passive cable helps decrease your operating expenses. Its zero-heat production during operation makes it more versatile and usable in wider temperature ranges up to 70°C (158°F), which is particularly valuable in data centers.

Lower cost and simpler to deploy than fiber optics

DAC cabling has a relatively simple internal structure with fewer components than fiber cables. This cable structure helps lower the purchase price for applications in high-bandwidth data transmission and saves you from having to buy separate transceivers. This, in turn, makes DAC cables a lot simpler to deploy since there are fewer parts to match to complete setup. Used versions of this cable are also more convenient to keep on hand because you do not have to clean and inspect them before plugging them in again. When you make upgrades or replacements to your network, the cable's seamless Hot Swapping capability makes quick work of connecting new equipment (note that passive DAC cables are not suitable for long-range applications; at 7 m (23 ft.), they reach their transmission limit).

Lower latency than RJ45 twisted-pair patch cables

Like "regular" Cat6a and Cat7 copper cables, this Direct Attach Copper twinax cable supports data transfer rates up 10 Gbps, but its unique structure and signal transmission offers lower latency.

Please note: This SFP+ 10G Passive DAC Twinax Cable is MSA-compliant and therefore designed, programmed and tested to work with compatible switches and routers from Cisco, Intellinet Network Solutions, ZyXEL, TP-Link, Ubiquiti, D-Link, Edimax, Allnet, Allied Telesis, Digitus, KTI Networks, LevelOne, PLANET, Tenda, TRENDnet, ZTE, Avaya, Mikrotik, Enterasys, Finisar, Dell Force10, Riverstone, Fortinet and more.

patchbox.one / Cassette / 8RU / Cat.6a

Want to build your own patchbox.one? Fill your Frame with up to 24 Cable Cassettes and have it your way – choose the cable type, colour and connector type you desire.

The Frame with patchbox.one / Cassette / 8RU can be mounted with the /dev/mount, while a Frame with patchbox.one / Cassette / 30RU or 46RU must be mounted with its mounting rails.

• Twisted Pairs
• ISO/IEC 11801 Channel Class Ea
• Cables always in your desired length
• Power your devices with PoE++ (UTP) and PoE (STP)
• Backward compatible with the PATCHBOX Plus+/365

See how our cassettes work

The easily exchangeable patchbox.one / Cassettes contain our flat ethernet cables. They are tested to ISO/IEC 11801 Ea Class and ANSI/EIA/TIA-568 Cat 6A Channel standards, RoHS compliant and capable of PoE (STP: PoE / UTP: PoE++ Type 3). Our cables are available in multiple colours and variants: as shielded or unshielded Cat. 6a cables (STP/UTP) and also as optical fiber (OS2/OM4) – the only length adaptable fiber optic cables on the market.

Installed and ready to rock in a few minutes

Save money thanks to the patchbox.one. The cable system retracts and stores unused cables safely and ensures they are ready when you need them. It also allows a higher density in your network rack than conventional methods. That equals more gear in the same space with more overview without the service of a cabling company.

Turn your Rack from a beast into a beauty

Keep your rack forever organized with our innovative cable management system. Simply retract unused cables or overlength back into the cassette to keep a better overview and simplify your network cabling. The Patchcatch, our 0RU cable manager alternative, helps you to manage your cables. Unlike conventional cable managers it does not waste a single rack unit, allowing you to use up to 50% more space in your rack.

Cat6 U/FTP Flat Ethernet Network Cable, 30AWG

FireFold's Cat6 U/FTP Flat Ethernet Cables fit easily between cramped spaces, improving the look of your home or office due to their slim and easy-to-hide design. These flat cables fit perfectly under carpets, up walls, and even behind furniture and network equipment. The cables are a slim 0.11 inch (2.8mm) thick which allows plenty of ventilation room for network rack wiring. These flat shielded patch cables are designed to protect critical data from EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), which is known to degrade or even interrupt connectivity.

PATCHBOX 365 Cat. 6a Cassette

Years of experience, research and testing were applied to develop our patented and reliable mechanism. The spring loaded system retracts the unneeded cable length slowly and stores it safely within the cassette's housing. It is designed to last and we guarantee at least 300 pulling cycles per cassette. That equals repatching a single patch cord 300 times.
