Direct Network Links
Create short, fast rack links without separate optics and patch cords
DistriNode offers SFP cable assemblies for high-speed rack and data centre connections: DAC and AOC cables for SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP and QSFP28 ports, used between switches, servers, storage systems and network appliances where length, speed and vendor coding must be right.

How to Choose SFP Cables
Match both endpoints
Check port type and speed on both devices. A cable coded for one side may still need compatibility with the other switch or server.
Choose DAC or AOC
DAC is cost-effective for short copper rack links. AOC uses optical fiber inside the assembly for longer or lighter cable runs.
Measure rack distance
Use the shortest practical length that still allows clean routing, service loops and airflow. Too much cable hurts rack maintenance.
Check breakout needs
QSFP breakout cables can connect one high-speed port to several lower-speed ports, but only when the switch supports that mode.

Rack tip: Before ordering DAC or AOC cables, confirm port form factor, speed, coding and measured rack path. A correct length is as important as electrical compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DAC and AOC?
DAC uses copper conductors and is common for short rack links. AOC uses optical fiber inside the cable and suits longer or lighter runs.
Can SFP cables replace separate transceivers?
Yes, for supported short links. DAC and AOC cables have integrated ends, so separate optics and patch cords are not needed.
What is a breakout cable?
A breakout cable splits a high-speed QSFP port into multiple lower-speed links, only if the switch supports breakout mode.
