Dacs are great … they let you avoid having to convert to optical or having to splice your own cable.

Downside the cables are kind of heavy and sometimes folks dont like that.

Main advantage for me was saving the cost of the SPF (surprisingly pricey f^#%rs) on each end.

Huh, what were you doing, buying Cisco/HPE, or trying to use fancy single mode optics for distances that DACs could do?

I just wanted to use my CRS305-1G-4S+IN without spending more on SPF modules than I did on the cards/switch.
