QSFP+ DAC (copper cables)
Figure 10: QSFP+ DAC copper cables
Direct Attach over Copper (DAC) cables have a minimum bend radius of typically 4x the diameter of
the cable (approximately a 1" bend radius). Handle DAC cables carefully to ensure that you do not
crimp or bend the cable beyond a 1" radius. Otherwise, you risk damaging the cable.
