The Juniper JNP-100G-DAC-1M is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable, 1 meter in length, designed for short-reach interconnects between Juniper devices such as routers, switches, and servers. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency, and low-power alternative to optical transceivers for in-rack or adjacent-rack connections.
