The Data General DG-1G-DAC is a cost-effective 1Gbps SFP passive copper twinax cable designed for short-range, high-density connections between network devices in data centers and enterprise environments.
The Data General DG-1G-DAC is a high-performance 1G SFP Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable engineered for reliable short-distance connectivity between switches, routers, servers, and storage equipment.
This passive solution enables ultra-low latency and reduced power consumption, making it ideal for high-density network architectures such as Top-of-Rack (ToR), End-of-Row (EoR), and Middle-of-Row (MoR) deployments.
Unlike active optical solutions, the DG-1G-DAC integrates no signal conditioning electronics, resulting in a simple, robust, and economical interconnect. It fully complies with SFP MSA standards and is electrically compatible with SFF-8431, ensuring seamless interoperability with Data General hardware and major networking platforms.
The cable is available in multiple lengths and wire gauges, allowing flexible installation while maintaining excellent signal integrity and EMI performance.
