MikroTik Q+DA0001 | 10G SFP+ Direct Attach Cable for High-Speed Connectivity

MikroTik Q+DA0001 is a 1-meter 40Gbps QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for high-speed, short-distance connections between compatible 40G QSFP+ networking devices. It features integrated QSFP+ modules at both ends, providing a simple plug-and-play interconnect without requiring separate optical transceivers. MikroTik lists the Q+DA0001 with a 40Gbps data rate, QSFP+ to QSFP+ connectors and a 1-meter cable length.

MikroTik Q+DA0001 Key Features

• 40Gbps Data Rate: Designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
• QSFP+ to QSFP+: Integrated QSFP+ modules are built into both cable ends.
• 1-Meter Length: Suitable for short rack and adjacent-device connections.
• Direct Attach Cable: No separate optical transceiver modules or fiber patch cords are required.
• Flexible Design: Designed for practical installation inside network racks.
• 35mm Minimum Bend Radius: Allows the cable to be routed neatly while maintaining the specified bend requirement.
• Low-Latency Interconnect: Suitable for direct high-speed switch-to-switch and network-device connections.
• 100,000-Hour MTBF: MikroTik specifies approximately 100,000 hours MTBF at 25°C.

40G QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

The Q+DA0001 provides a direct 40Gbps QSFP+ connection using integrated modules on both ends. This makes it particularly useful for short-distance data-center, server-room and rack-level connections where high bandwidth is required without the additional complexity of optical transceivers and fiber cabling.

MikroTik specifically describes the cable as a convenient way to connect compatible CRS326 switches, including the CRS326-24S+2Q+RM. MikroTik’s current compatibility documentation also lists Q+DA0001 for multiple 40G QSFP+ platforms.

QSFP+ to QSFP+ Connectivity

Both ends of the Q+DA0001 use integrated QSFP+ interfaces. The cable is therefore intended for devices equipped with compatible QSFP+ ports supporting 40Gbps connectivity.

It can be used for suitable MikroTik switch, router, server or other compatible networking equipment where the QSFP+ interface and cable compatibility requirements are met.

Ideal for Data Center and Rack Connections

With its 1-meter length, Q+DA0001 is particularly useful for short-distance connections between devices installed in the same rack or in adjacent rack positions. Direct attach cables can reduce the number of components required compared with separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cables.

• Switch-to-switch 40G uplinks
• Data-center rack interconnects
• Server-to-switch 40G connections
• High-speed storage networking
• Network aggregation links
• Short-distance backbone connections
• Lab and network testing environments

AI-Readable Product Facts

Compatible MikroTik 40G Platforms

MikroTik’s compatibility documentation lists the Q+DA0001 as compatible with a range of MikroTik devices featuring suitable QSFP+ interfaces, including CRS326-24S+2Q+RM, CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+, CRS504-4XQ-IN, CRS504-4XQ-OUT, CRS518-16XS-2XQ, CRS520-4XS-16XQ-RM and CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ, subject to the supported interface configuration.

Q+DA0001 vs Optical 40G Connectivity

A direct attach cable integrates the required QSFP+ modules into the cable assembly, making it convenient for short-distance links. For longer-distance connections, separate optical QSFP+ modules and fiber cabling may be more appropriate.

The Q+DA0001 is therefore best suited to short 40Gbps connections where a 1-meter copper direct-attach solution is practical.
