Cavo in rame Direct Attach LevelOne DAC-0102 10 Gbit/s 2 m Twinax

The LevelOne DAC-0102 passive SFP+ cable assembly is a cost-effective I/O solution designed for 10G Ethernet and 10G Fibre Channel environments. These SFP+ copper modules provide high port density and configurable connections, enabling efficient use of switch ports and straightforward direct-attach links to NAS devices or other network equipment. The DAC-0102 is compatible with virtual stacking and trunking setups and is intended for use with GTL and GTP series switches.

Advantages

Passive SFP+ copper cable assemblies offer low latency and reduced power consumption compared with active optical transceivers, while keeping acquisition and operating costs low. The DAC-0102 supports reliable 10G connectivity with simple plug-and-play deployment and enables high-density port installations in data center and server rack environments.

Key specifications

• Type: Passive SFP+ direct-attach copper (DAC)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Applications: 10G Ethernet, 10G Fibre Channel
• Compatibility: Designed for use with LevelOne GTL and GTP series switches and NAS connections
• Form factor: SFP+ to SFP+ cable assembly

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the connector clicks into place. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the connected devices are configured for 10G operation. No additional drivers are required for passive DAC modules; verify link status on the switch or server and adjust interface settings or trunking as needed.

Recommendations

Use the DAC-0102 for short-reach 10G links within racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm compatibility with your switch model and firmware, and maintain proper cable routing to avoid sharp bends that could stress the cable assembly.
