DAC modules are copper-based, fixed-length cables with transceivers at each end, designed for short-range, high-speed connections in data centers and enterprise networks . They are commonly used for 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, 100G, and 400G Ethernet links, providing low latency, low power consumption, and cost-effective connectivity for distances typically up to 5 meters for passive DACs and slightly longer for active variants .
Cost Effective Transceiver modules can be expensive, especially those with sensitive high-speed optics. Fortinet delivers high-quality
