About the MikroTik XQ+DA0003 QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable 40/100G 3m
The MikroTik XQ+DA0003 QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable operates as a passive copper solution without active components, delivering dual data-rate support across 40G and 100G infrastructures in a compact 3 m form factor. This cable implements IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-CR4 electrical standards for 40 Gbps operation (10 Gbps per lane across 4 lanes) and IEEE 802.3bj 100GBASE-CR4 standards for 100 Gbps operation (25 Gbps per lane), making it suitable for high-density switching and interconnect applications where passive direct attach copper (DAC) cables reduce power overhead and latency. The twin-axial copper construction and QSFP28 MSA-compliant connectors on both ends ensure reliable signal integrity across supported data rates, with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
Network engineers and data center infrastructure teams deploy the MikroTik XQ+DA0003 to bridge QSFP28-equipped devices—including MikroTik CCR2004 series routers, CRS series switches, and third-party QSFP28 MSA-compliant networking equipment—without the cost and thermal burden of active transceivers. Passive DAC cables are essential for cost-sensitive, short-reach interconnects in modular switching fabrics and high-performance routing environments where every watt of power consumption matters.
