How much more reliable is a 5 m DAC than an optical solution at the same distance?

Over short distances of up to a few meters, a passive copper cable has virtually no moving parts and active components, which makes it no less reliable and significantly more cost-effective.

Is hot-swapping of the module supported without powering off the equipment?

The SFP28 form factor supports hot-swapping on most compatible switches and server cards.

How should the cable be stored to avoid damaging the connectors?

Store the module in its original packaging with protective caps on the connectors, avoiding kinks and mechanical loads on the cable braid.
