Direct attach cable
A direct attach cable (DAC) assembly is a high performance integrated duplex data link for bi-
directional communication. The cable is compliant with the IPF MSA (SFF-8432) for mechanical form
factor and SFP+ MSA for direct attach cables. The cable, which can be up to 5 meters long, is data-rate
agnostic. Supporting speeds more than 10 Gbps, it is a cost-eective alternative to optical links (SFP+
transceivers and fiber optic cables.) The transceiver with DAC is hot-swappable. You can insert and
remove the transceiver with the attached cable without shutting down the appliance. The Citrix ADC
appliance supports only passive DAC.
Important:
• DAC is supported only on 10G ports. Do not insert a DAC into a 1G port.
• Do not attempt to unplug the integrated copper cable from the transceiver and insert a fiber
cable into the transceiver.
