AEC vs. DAC Solutions: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Описание: How do active electrical cables (AECs) stack up against passive alternatives? https://molex.io/3KeoBOb

👇 IN THIS VIDEO
What are the benefits of active electrical cables (AECs) for high-density applications? How do increasing data rates affect their performance? What makes AECs viable solutions when compared with direct attach cables (DACs) or optical products?

In this podcast, the second in a series of three on AECs, David Pike, also known as the Connector Geek, explores these questions. Joining him are Molex experts Chris Kapuscinski and Vivek Shah, who will discuss the ways AECs can provide unique connectivity solutions for high-speed applications. Learn more about:

• How AECs and DACs compare and how they can coexist in designs that utilize the strengths of each
• How AECs are enabling customers to upgrade to high-speed data transfer rates without expensive optical upgrades
• Power requirements for AECs
• Backward compatibility concerns
• Thermal advantages of AECs in high-density applications

Discover why AECs represent a strategic middle ground between passive copper and optical solutions, offering speed, performance and flexibility without the complexity or cost of optical systems.
