Item Description

In today’s Data Centers, more bandwidth is needed to support the use of server virtualization where multiple virtual machines are combined on a single physical host server. To accommodate the ever-growing number of operating systems and applications residing on individual servers, virtualization requires significantly increased data transmission between the servers and switches. At the same time, the amount and type of devices residing on the network have dramatically increased the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to and from storage area networks (SANs) and Network Attached Storage (NAS). The DAC breakout cables are a high-speed, cost-effective 100GbE to 4 x 25GbE Ethernet connectivity solution, designed to meet the growing needs for higher bandwidth in data centers. This cable assembly features eight differential copper pairs, providing four data transmission channels at speeds up to 28Gbps per channel, and meets 100G Ethernet, 25G Ethernet, and InfiniBand Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) requirements. Available in a broad range of wire gages from 26AWG through 30AWG.
