MikroTik XQ+0001 100G QSFP28 DAC Cable (1m)

The MikroTik XQ+0001 is a 100G QSFP28 direct-attach copper cable engineered for high-speed interconnection within data center environments. This 1-meter passive DAC (Direct-Attach Cable) eliminates the need for active transceivers, delivering native 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with minimal latency and power consumption. The cable integrates seamlessly with MikroTik's 100G switch lineup and third-party QSFP28-equipped infrastructure for short-reach datacenter links.

Designed for short-distance connectivity in densely populated server racks and switch-to-switch deployments, the XQ+0001 provides cost-effective signal integrity without signal regeneration. The 1-meter length accommodates standard top-of-rack and end-of-row switching topologies. Passive copper construction ensures full compatibility with standard QSFP28 pluggable optics specifications and eliminates firmware dependency.

Launched in Q4 2022, this cable addresses enterprise demand for simplified 100G fabric provisioning in modern hyperscale and colocation environments where direct connectivity and operational simplicity are priorities.

Ideal for

• Switch-to-switch 100G interconnection in leaf-spine datacenter fabric architectures
• Server-to-ToR (top-of-rack) switch uplink consolidation
• High-performance computing cluster node interconnection
• Storage array to switch direct-attached 100G links
• Rack-scale low-latency Ethernet backbone provisioning
• Hyperscaler datacenter expansion with native QSFP28 infrastructure
