Low power consumption and low cost: DAC patch cord are made of copper core material, with low power consumption, usually less than 0.5W, while the power consumption of optical modules is generally above 1W. In addition, DAC jumpers do not have optical lasers and other electronic components, so the manufacturing cost is low, and the price of copper cable is much lower than that of optical fiber, so costs can be saved when wiring.
Energy saving and environmental protection: The DAC patch cord uses a copper core inside, and copper has good heat dissipation effect, which is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
Easy to deploy and maintain: DAC patch cord usually adopt a pre-connected plug-in design, which is very convenient and quick to install and deploy, and is suitable for environments such as data centers. In addition, due to its simple structure, maintenance is relatively easy.
High-speed transmission and low latency: DAC jumpers support data transmission rates of up to tens of Gbps, with high bandwidth and transmission speed. Because it is directly connected to the port of the device and does not require intermediate conversion or modulation process, it has very low transmission delay, which is suitable for application scenarios with high delay requirements.
Applicable scenarios: DAC patch cord are particularly suitable for short-distance connections, such as device interconnection within a data center. In short-distance transmission, DAC patch cord is more economical and efficient than the combination of optical module + fiber patch cord.
