CBO DAC Cable BlueLAN MCP7904-X01AA 30 m direct-attach copper network cable

The CBO DAC Cable BlueLAN MCP7904-X01AA 30 m direct-attach copper network cable is a pre-terminated copper link engineered for short-range, high-speed connections between network switches, servers and other compatible equipment. The 30 m length provides a fixed, reliable physical connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and simplifies rack- and cabinet-level cabling. This cable is built for direct-attach DAC interfaces and is suitable where consistent signal integrity and reduced installation time are priorities.

Advantages

This direct-attach copper cable offers a factory-terminated, plug-and-play solution that reduces on-site assembly and potential connector mismatches. By integrating connector terminations with the cable, it ensures stable electrical characteristics across the entire 30 m length and supports high-throughput links with predictable latency and noise performance. The product is designed to be mechanically robust for typical data center and networking environments and to simplify inventory management compared to separate transceivers plus fiber or active modules.

Suitable for

• Short-range uplinks between switches within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct connections between servers and switches in data center topologies
• High-density network deployments requiring pre-terminated copper interconnects
• Temporary or permanent point-to-point links where a 30 m fixed-length cable is acceptable

Key specifications

• Cable type: direct-attach copper (DAC), pre-terminated
• Length: 30 meters
• Interface: DAC-compatible plug connectors for direct attachment to compatible ports
• Application: short-range, high-speed network interconnects for switches and servers
• Construction: shielded copper pairs designed for reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installation: rack/cabinet-friendly design for horizontal and vertical runs within equipment rooms

How to use

Connect each end of the direct-attach copper cable to the corresponding DAC-compatible ports on the network devices intended to be linked. Ensure both devices support direct-attach copper interfaces and that port settings match the required speed and duplex parameters. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure it with cable management hardware as needed. No additional transceivers or field termination are required, and the cable is ready for immediate use once properly seated in the ports.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your network equipment specifications before installation and confirm supported link speeds. When installing in dense racks, allow adequate airflow and avoid tight bends to maintain signal integrity. For permanent installations, label both ends for easier maintenance and documentation.
