Passive DAC cable contains no electronics for signal conditioning, so it has lower power consumption, but the linking distance is limited to 7m. While active DAC cable contains electrical components in the connectors, allowing reaching greater distances (up to 10m) via copper media and ensuring better transmission quality. This makes active copper cables slightly more expensive and consumes more power than direct attach passive copper cables.

No, it can’t be used in the stack port of your device. FS DAC & AOC can only be used in the business port of the switch to achieve virtual stacking, but can not be used in the stack port to achieve physical stacking. The stacking through the stack port of device belongs to physical stacking which needs a specific stacking cable, and it is under development for now.
