The difference between DAC Cable and AOC Cable:
| Feature | DAC Cable | AOC Cable |
| Plug and Play | Yes | Yes |
| Cable Type | Twinax copper | Multimode OM3/OM4 fiber |
| Distance | Limited range 0.5 to 15m (recommendation of max 10m) | Reaches up to 100m (recommendation of max 30m) |
| Data Rate | Speeds are up to 400G | Speeds are up to 400G |
| Power Consumption | Virtually zero. Passive cables <0.3W | ~50% of power consumption versus 2 transceivers |
| Cost | Lowest cost point to point solution | Much reduced CAPEX versus 2 transceivers and fiber patch cable |
| Form Factors Supported | SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28/QSFP-DD | SFP+/SFP28/QSFP+/QSFP28/QSFP-DD |
| Passive/Active | Supports active and passive switch ports | Supports active switch ports |
| EMI | Vulnerable to EMI | EMI has no impact |
| Bend Radius | AWG 24 to 30 (higher ratings for thinner cable and greater bendability) | Thinner and shorter bend radius. Lightweight compared to DACs |
| Application | Top of Rack(ToR) Adjacent Rack |
Top of Rack(ToR) End of Row(EoR) Middle of Row(MoR) Zone to Zone |
