FAQs
Q1: What is the MikroTik XS+DA0001?
A: It’s a 1 metre passive direct‑attach twinax cable built for short‑distance connections between SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 ports.
Q2: What data rates does the XS+DA0001 support?
A: It supports 1 Gb/s (SFP), 10 Gb/s (SFP+), and 25 Gb/s (SFP28) connections.
Q3: What type of devices is this cable intended to connect?
A: It’s designed to interconnect two devices with SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 ports — for example, switches, routers, or optical modules — within a rack or between adjacent racks.
Q4: What are the benefits of using this DAC cable instead of fiber?
A: Being passive and copper, it offers low power consumption, very low latency, and lower cost compared to optical solutions for short-range interconnects.
Q5: Is this cable hot-pluggable, and is there a risk with compatibility?
A: Yes, the cable is hot-pluggable. Because it’s fully compliant with MSA (Multi‑Source Agreement) specifications, it maintains broad compatibility with SFP/SFP+/SFP28 devices that support direct-attach copper.
