MikroTik XS+DA0001 1m 25G SFP28 Direct Attach Cable

The MikroTik XS+DA0001 is a highly versatile 1-meter passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed to bridge the gap between legacy 1G/10G infrastructure and modern 25G networking. As a multi-rate solution, it supports SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 standards, making it an essential component for network engineers managing evolving data centers or high-density server racks. Primarily deployed for short-range interconnects within a single rack or between adjacent cabinets, the XS+DA0001 eliminates the need for expensive optical transceivers and fragile fiber patches.

This cable is particularly effective in Top-of-Rack (ToR) switching scenarios where low latency and high reliability are paramount. It is fully compatible with MikroTik’s CCR2004 and CRS series, as well as third-party hardware adhering to MSA standards. By supporting 1G, 10G, and 25G speeds, it provides a future-proof path for organizations transitioning to higher bandwidth without requiring immediate hardware overhauls. Its passive design ensures minimal power consumption and zero heat generation, which is critical for maintaining optimal thermal profiles in dense edge or campus core environments.
