Add-On SFP-1G-PDAC1M-AO MSA Comp DAC 1M 1000BASE-CU Passive

Overview

The Add-On SFP-1G-PDAC1M-AO is a 1-meter passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for short-reach, high-speed network connections. It terminates in SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceivers, making it ideal for connecting network switches, servers, or other network devices within a rack or between adjacent racks. This passive cable requires no external power, simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure in critical surveillance infrastructure.

Compatibility

This cable is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, ensuring broad compatibility with network equipment from various manufacturers that support the SFP 1000BASE-CU standard. It is suitable for use with switches, network interface cards (NICs), and other devices featuring standard SFP ports. Verify your network device's SFP port specifications for 1000BASE-CU compatibility to ensure seamless integration.

Installation Notes

The SFP connectors simply plug into the corresponding SFP ports on your network devices. Ensure a firm, secure connection. The passive nature of this cable means no power supply or configuration is required for the cable itself. The 1-meter length is optimized for intra-rack connectivity, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation.
