Ruckus Networks QSFP to Direct Attach Cable | DAC, Passive

Maintain predictable, low-latency links between QSFP-enabled switches and appliances with a direct attach cable engineered for short-reach, copper interconnects. This QSFP-to-QSFP assembly eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers and fibers in consolidated racks, reducing parts count and port-to-port complexity. It is intended for dense rack deployments where deterministic latency and straightforward cabling matter more than long reach. Installers will appreciate the compact twinax form that keeps cable management orderly while delivering stable electrical connectivity between QSFP ports. Use this cable when you need a dependable passive copper link for in-rack or adjacent-rack connections, and pair it with compatible QSFP ports on Ruckus or interoperable switches. For procurement teams, the direct-attach approach lowers per-port hardware cost and simplifies spare-parts inventories compared with pluggable optics.
