Direct Attach Cables (DAC)

Direct Attach Cables (DAC), Direct Attach Cables, are a connectivity solution used for high-speed data transfer over short distances. These cables are typically used to connect servers, network devices, storage devices, etc. for high-speed data communication.

DACs usually include plugs on both ends that connect directly to the ports of the device without the need for additional optical modules or fiber optics. They use copper conductors to transmit data signals, making them suitable for short-distance connections such as in-rack connections or connections between neighboring devices.
