MikroTik 25GBase Direct Attach Cable - SFP28 (3m)

The MikroTik XS+DA0001 is a high-performance 25GBase Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for reliable, low-latency connections in data centers and enterprise networks. This passive copper cable supports SFP28 ports and is backward compatible with SFP+ (10GbE) and SFP (1GbE), making it a versatile solution for high-speed interconnects.

Advantages

With a data rate of 25 Gbps and a length of 3 meters, this DAC cable offers exceptional signal integrity and minimal power consumption (<0.1W). Its passive design ensures zero latency, while the robust PVC jacket and 30 AWG wire gauge provide durability and flexibility for tight cable runs. Hot-pluggable and RoHS compliant, it simplifies installation and meets environmental standards.

Suitable for

• Data centers requiring high-speed server-to-switch connections
• Enterprise networks upgrading to 25GbE infrastructure
• Short-range interconnects in server rooms and network closets
• Backward-compatible deployments with existing 10GbE or 1GbE equipment
