MikroTik XS+DA0001 – 1m SFP/SFP+/SFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable, 25G

Description

MikroTik XS+DA0001 – 1m SFP/SFP+/SFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable, 25G

The MikroTik XS+DA0001 is a 1-metre direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed to connect compatible networking devices through SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 interfaces. Supporting data rates of 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps, it provides a practical solution for high-speed connections between switches, routers and servers in data centres, server rooms and enterprise network installations.

A simple solution for short-range network connections

Direct attach copper cables combine the cable and connector assemblies into one integrated product. Unlike optical fibre connections, a DAC cable does not require separate optical transceivers and a fibre patch cable at each end. This can simplify installation and reduce the number of components needed for short connections between compatible devices.

The XS+DA0001 is 1 metre long, making it suitable for connecting equipment installed in the same rack, adjacent rack units or nearby cabinets. Its short length can help keep network cabinets organised and reduce excess cabling around switches and routers.

Support for 1G, 10G and 25G networking

The MikroTik XS+DA0001 supports three commonly used networking speeds: 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps. This flexibility makes it useful in networks that combine Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 25 Gigabit Ethernet equipment.

For example, it can be considered for compatible switch-to-switch links, router uplinks, server connections and short-distance connections between network devices. The actual operating speed depends on the capabilities of both connected ports, their configuration and the compatibility of the host equipment.

The SFP28 form factor supports 25 Gigabit networking while also accommodating supported lower-speed applications. Before ordering, verify the port type, supported data rate and DAC compatibility of both devices.

Cost-effective connectivity for data centres

The XS+DA0001 is particularly useful in high-density network environments where multiple switches, routers and servers need to be interconnected over short distances. By integrating the cable and connector assemblies, it avoids the need for separate optical modules and fibre patch leads for suitable short-range connections.

This can help reduce installation complexity and simplify stock management for network integrators and IT teams. Its compact 1-metre length is suitable where connected devices are physically close together.

Applications for ISPs and enterprise networks

Internet service providers can use compatible DAC cables for short connections between supported routers and switches in network cabinets. Enterprise IT teams can consider the cable for server-room interconnects, data-centre racks, aggregation equipment and high-speed switching infrastructure.

System integrators can also use it when building or expanding network installations that combine compatible SFP, SFP+ and SFP28 devices. For best results, confirm that both endpoints support the intended speed and cable type before installation.

Compatibility considerations

Although the XS+DA0001 supports multiple SFP-family data rates, compatibility is not guaranteed with every device that has an SFP-shaped port. Some manufacturers restrict supported DAC models or require specific compatibility checks. Port configuration and software or firmware requirements may also affect operation.

Confirm the manufacturer’s compatibility information for both devices before purchase, particularly in mixed-vendor environments. Do not assume that a physical connector match alone guarantees a working connection.
