Winner in the data center space–10G DAC high-speed cable

This blog, ETU-LINK Optical Communication will share you about the transmission cable commonly used in data centers - 10G DAC high-speed cables, because the data center not only has to consider high density, high capacity, but also take into account the cost control, so it is very important to choose a reasonable data center wiring products. So, how should we choose products with higher cost performance? We need to combine the spacing of the actual equipment to choose the most cost-effective product.

The wiring mode of the general data center is divided into EOR, MOR, TOR, of which TOR adopts point-to-point wiring, which reduces the number of wiring and saves some costs, so it is more favored by data centers. In a TOR cabling design, toR switches and servers are typically placed in the same cabinet, with at least one switch per rack, and servers in the rack are usually connected to the switch via copper cables. Therefore, the connection product between the server and the TOR switch does not need to choose a product with a long transmission distance. Taking the 10G network as an example, the interconnection of the 10G SFP+ port in the device is the most cost-effective with the 10G DAC high-speed cable, which can minimize the procurement cost without affecting the transmission performance.

10G DAC high-speed cable is not more than 15 meters long, generally in the TOR wiring mode, 3-5 meters length is enough. 10G high-speed cables can be applied to switching fabric I/O in storage area networks, network-attached storage, and storage servers, such as ultra-high-bandwidth switches and routers, data center cabling, and high-density connections between infrastructure network devices. Finally, in the short-distance interconnection scenario, based on low cost, low power consumption and other factors, it is recommended that you choose the direct attach cable of ETU-LINK 10G DAC.
