QFX-QSFP-DAC-1M Cables

Passive DAC cables, like the ones listed, contain no electronic components and simply transmit signals over the copper wire. They are used for very short distances. Active DAC cables include signal processing circuits to boost signal quality, allowing for longer cable lengths than passive versions.

For short distances (typically under 7 meters), DAC cables are a more cost-effective solution than optical transceivers and fiber. They consume less power and offer lower latency, making them ideal for high-density, top-of-rack switching environments where numerous connections are required.

The supported data rate depends on the specific model. The QFX-QSFP-DAC-1M is a QSFP+ cable that supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE), while the JNP-100G-DAC-1M is a QSFP28 cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) applications, providing flexible options for network upgrades.

While designed for Juniper QFX series hardware, some cables feature a programmable ID that may allow for compatibility with other vendors' equipment. However, we always recommend verifying compatibility with your specific hardware to ensure proper functionality and performance before purchasing.

Every cable undergoes our rigorous 5-step Quality Assurance and Testing process. This ensures that each unit meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications for performance and reliability. We test for signal integrity and physical condition to guarantee it's ready for deployment in a production environment.

All our refurbished hardware, including these DAC cables, is backed by a comprehensive Terabit Systems warranty. This includes a clear Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) policy for any defective units, ensuring you receive a replacement or refund and can purchase with confidence.
