[AusNOG] QSFP cables

[Lee Allemand]

Hi Alex

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.

Regards
Lee

Hi

Thanks for all the replies.

1) I'm in sydney thanks for the offers out of state:)
2) Direct attach ... interesting I use these all the time - typically I have bought from Dell - with servers or switches and I haven't had an issue with them
3) looking for about 1-1.5m QSFP and SFP+ (40G + 10G) think 4x40G and 8 x 10G


I will check out some of the recommended sites

Back to the optical v's DAC... I have typically tried to use copper (DAC) in rack and optical out of rack connections.  Are people doing optical inrack ?

Thanks
Alex
