<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Normally in a DC when it won't be moved/touched I use brand XYZ DAC, in buildings I use optics 10km SM, there is no right or wrong use case. I can often get used/new DAC cables alot cheaper than optics.<br>
