Mikrotik XS+DA0001 - 1m direct attach cable that supports not only SFP 1G and SFP+ 10G, but also the 25G SFP28 standard! - New!

Mikrotik has just released new direct attach cables that support not only SFP 1G and SFP+ 10G, but also the 25G SFP28 standard! With the new direct attach cables you get more features for the same price!

This is highly cost-effective way to connect two SFP/SFP+/SFP28 devices (for example two units of our new CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS) for very short distances, within racks and across adjacent racks.

They provide a low cost, low power and low latency interconnect solution for 25-Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Channel and other industry standards, and are direct attached compliant and fully conform to the SFP+ MSA specifications.

Two versions are available- XS+DA0001 (1m) and XS+DA0003 (3m)

NOTE: These are made with Belden L-Skew copper cable and do not provide the same electrical isolation between routers that fiber would.

HINT: When connecting dissimilar port types such as a device with an SFP port to a device with an SFP+ port, be sure to disable Auto Negotiation, enable Full Duplex, set the Speed to 1Gbps, and turn off all Flow Control. Do this on both devices.
