DAC Cable
Note
Cambium Networks recommends using the cable gland (part number: C000000L176A -
Standard cable gland for 6 mm cable, M25, Qty 10) with the DAC cable for V3000 and
V5000 products.
This topic covers the following sections:
l Benefits
l Use cases
l Key points to install the DAC cable
Benefits
Following are some of the benefits of using the DAC cable:
l Eliminates the need to buy two SFP+ transceivers and a compatible optical cable, resulting in a
reduced inventory management and a low cost solution.
l Consists of factory terminated and ensures watertight sealing.
l Prevents installation errors when terminating optical cables to SFP+ transceivers.
Use cases
Following are the use cases of the DAC cable:
l Connecting a V3000-to-V3000 backhauled link
With the use of the DAC cable, the V3000 devices can achieve an aggregate speed of up to 3.6
Gbps.
Typically, a multi-hop point-to-point link deployment, which connects two back-to-back V3000
devices, requires the use of 10 Gig SFP+ interface. In such cases, the DAC cable (from Cambium
Networks) can be used, instead of two SFP+ transceivers and an optical cable, to backhaul the
traffic (as shown in Figure 46).
