Yes, thanks. It was confusing me for a second because no, no almost one is terminating twinax in the server room.
I had IT company recommend to me a bunch of fiber cables for a cleanup I was doing. They had about 20 or 30 laser modules we would need, and however much fiber.
When they asked why I planned on doing copper, I told him because each run is three fucking feet.
I’m not sure if they just didn’t realize that’s not what fiber is for or they didn’t know that DAC existed.
Many people don’t know about DAC. Like the comment above I think they see the word copper and assume it means the twisted pair they’re familiar with.
