MikroTik S+DA0003 SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Cable for SMB & Enterprise

S+DA0003 is a 3-meter SFP+ direct attach cable for interconnecting network equipment within a rack and across adjacent racks, providing a more cost-effective alternative to fiber-based SFP+ modules for very short distances. It is widely used in datacenters and enterprise infrastructures for connecting switches, routers, and servers with SFP/SFP+ ports where minimum latency and low cost are priorities.

The cable supports data rates of 1G and 10G, covering both Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections in a single physical solution. Lower power consumption compared to traditional optical modules and minimal latency make it suitable for critical interconnects in high-performance infrastructures. It conforms to SFP+ MSA specifications and is compatible with 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel standards, ensuring interoperability with equipment from most manufacturers.

S+DA0003 connects directly between two SFP+ ports without requiring additional modules or transceivers, simplifying cable management and reducing the number of active components in the rack. The 3-meter length covers typical distances within a rack or between adjacent racks in a server room. An MTBF of 100,000 hours confirms reliability for permanent installations in continuous production environments.

Recommended for interconnecting MikroTik equipment with SFP+ ports in the same or adjacent racks, for 10G uplink connections between aggregation switches, and for any scenario where a direct attach cable offers a more economical solution than optical modules. Compatible with devices such as the CCR1036-8G-2S+ and any other MSA-compliant SFP+ port device. This product is discontinued.
