Juniper SDD-Q56-DAC-3M SFP56-DD DAC 3M | 50G Ethernet, Copper

Build short-reach links with fewer parts and less overhead. The Juniper SDD-Q56-DAC-3M direct attach copper cable is made for SFP56-DD connectivity at 50G, giving infrastructure teams a straightforward way to connect nearby devices without deploying optical transceivers. At 3 m, it provides enough reach for rack-level routing while keeping the cable path compact and predictable. This is the right choice when you want to preserve port density and keep power consumption in check. Copper DACs are especially effective in environments where the link distance is short and the priority is stable performance, simpler procurement, and cleaner cable management. For teams operating Juniper-based access, aggregation, or server-facing infrastructure, this cable supports a disciplined design approach that avoids unnecessary optics. Use it where short runs dominate and every watt, port, and rack unit matters. The result is a practical interconnect that fits high-density deployments and keeps the network fabric focused on throughput rather than transport complexity.
