Advantage of Direct Attach Copper Cable
The Cisco 37-0960-03 10GBASE-CU Direct Attach Copper Cable is a high-performance, low-latency, and cost-effective solution for connecting switches, routers, servers, and storage devices within a data center. Here are some additional advantages of using this cable:
- High speed: The Cisco 37-0960-03 cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as virtualization, cloud computing, and data backup.
- Low latency: Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables such as the Cisco 37-0960-03 have lower latency compared to fiber optic cables because they have fewer components in the signal path. This makes them ideal for applications that require fast response times, such as real-time data analytics and financial trading.
- Cost-effective: The Cisco 37-0960-03 cable is a cost-effective alternative to fiber optic cables for short-distance connections within a data center. DAC cables have lower material and installation costs compared to fiber optic cables, making them a popular choice for high-density data center environments.
- Easy to install: The Cisco 37-0960-03 cable is easy to install and configure. It uses a standardized Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) connector, which is compatible with a wide range of Cisco switches, routers, and servers. This allows for easy plug-and-play connectivity between devices without the need for additional configuration or software.
- Reliability: The Cisco 37-0960-03 cable is designed and tested to meet or exceed industry standards for signal integrity, EMI/RFI emissions, and environmental factors. This ensures that the cable provides reliable performance and minimizes the risk of data loss or downtime.
Installation and Applications
Installation:
The 37-0960-03 Cisco 1M 10GBASE-CU Direct Attach Copper Cable is an easy-to-install cable that connects two devices directly, such as a switch and a server. It is designed for short-distance data transmission and offers high-speed connectivity. To install this cable, follow the below steps:
- Turn off the devices that you want to connect with the cable.
- Connect one end of the cable to the SFP+ port on one device and the other end to the SFP+ port on the other device.
- Turn on the devices and configure them for the desired data transmission.
Applications:
The 37-0960-03 Cisco 1M 10GBASE-CU Direct Attach Copper Cable has several applications in networking environments, some of which are:
- Switch-to-switch connectivity: The cable can be used to connect two switches that are in close proximity to each other. This will create a high-speed link that will enable fast data transfer between the two switches.
- Switch-to-server connectivity: The cable can also be used to connect a switch to a server that is located nearby. This will provide high-speed data transmission between the two devices, allowing for efficient data transfer.
- Storage area network connectivity: The cable can be used to connect storage area networks (SAN) and servers to switches. This will provide fast and reliable data transfer between the devices, which is critical for businesses that rely heavily on data storage and retrieval.
- High-performance computing: The cable can be used in high-performance computing environments, where fast data transfer is essential. The cable can connect high-speed servers to each other, providing the necessary bandwidth for parallel processing and data exchange.

About New Bulk Pack Products
Cables - Direct Attach Cable
Direct Attach Cable, also known as the DAC cable, connects the equipment and peripherals in a data network. All the active networking equipment, including the data storage devices, switches, routers, servers, and more, will be connected and synched using the DAC cables. As far as the usage is concerned, these direct attached copper cables are getting fame in the data storage centers and the industry sector and server rooms: the reason being the cost-effective, efficient, and easier way to form the connection.
Direct Attach Copper Cables Are Terminated with Modules:
DAC cables are terminated from the manufacturer with the modules, which can easily connect the active peripheral equipment and secure an electrical connection. These modules are factory terminated and cannot be removed from the DAC cables afterward. Hence these wires possess a fixed length.
There are plenty of types and models available for the direct attach cables, including the direct, breakout, active and passive. As mentioned in the name, the direct cable can form a direct stable connection among the two peripherals, while breakout can connect one port with the four others. On the other hand, an active DAC cable will transmit signals to a little longer distance than the passive ones.
We, at ALLHDD, have got you all the range DAC cables for you to shop from! Choose from the following sub-categories: 0.5 Meter, 1 Meter, 16.4 Feet, 2 Meter, 4xC-13 Attached, 5 Meters, SFP+, 0.65 Meter, 10 Feet, 10 Meters, and 3 Meter.
DAC cables can follow longer paths:
Many of you might be wondering if the direct attach cable can transmit the data up to 10 meters or more! Yes, these cables can transfer the data to a more extended range depending on the data rate. The data rate is inversely proportional to the transmit range- the more the data rate, the less will be the range!
Direct Attach Data Cables are cost-effective!
DAC cables are more cost-effective as compared to the other ones. Using the two optical transceivers and fiber cable will not generate similar results as these DAC cables would!
Immense Reliability:
Not only are these cost-effective and can cover long range but are reliable as well! As already mentioned, the DAC cables are factory terminated with a module that plugs into the networking equipment and generates a physical connection. Apart from the secure connection, the 26 to 28 AWG Copper material makes them rugged. Therefore, surviving through the damage and cracks, DAC cables are a way to connect peripherals swiftly. You can choose from the following options 7 Meter, ProCurve, 0.65M, 1.2 Meter, 20 Meter and 30 Meter and also claim a 2.5% discount!
