Colored 10G/25G Direct Attach Copper Cables for Datacenter
High-Speed, High-Density, Easy to Manage
Colored Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables offer the same reliable high-speed performance as standard DACs (10G or 25G), but with enhanced visual differentiation—perfect for modern data center environments demanding efficiency, clarity, and scalability.

1. Simplified Cable Management
Different colored cables help distinguish between different types of connections (e.g., uplink, downlink, storage, backup, etc.). Easier to trace a cable from one end to the other in dense racks.
2. Logical Network Segmentation
Color-coding can visually indicate:
Different networks (e.g., production vs. test/dev)
Different VLANs or broadcast domains
Redundant paths (e.g., primary vs. secondary links)
3. Minimized Human Error
Helps technicians avoid unplugging the wrong cable during maintenance.
Reduces chances of misconnecting ports, especially during rapid scaling or troubleshooting.
4. Support for High-Density Environments
In environments with hundreds or thousands of cables, colors provide quick visual identification, saving time and reducing confusion.
5. Compliance & Documentation
Some data centers have strict cabling standards and documentation. Color codes are part of those standards and make auditing and verification more efficient.
Colored DAC cables don’t improve performance, but they greatly improve manageability, reliability, and efficiency in a complex data center environment. They’re a simple, cost-effective tool for operational excellence. In dense, fast-paced data center environments, color adds real-world value — not just aesthetics. It’s about speeding up management, minimizing errors, and improving clarity at every level.
