Network Cable MikroTik XQ+DA0003 QSFP+ to QSFP+ Fibre Optic 3m Black

The MikroTik XQ+DA0003 is a 3-meter QSFP+ / QSFP28 direct attach fibre optic cable designed for 100 Gigabit connections. It features integrated QSFP28-compatible modules in a male-to-male configuration and a black jacket. The cable provides a tidy, flexible link for high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between compatible networking devices such as MikroTik CCR2216 and CRS504 switches.

Advantages

This 3 m QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable offers plug-and-play installation with integrated QSFP28 endpoints, enabling straightforward direct connections between compatible 100 Gigabit ports. Its length balances reach and cable management in server rooms, and the cable is sufficiently flexible to route between adjacent or stacked devices while maintaining reliable high-speed transmission.

Suitable for

• Direct 100 Gigabit connections between switches and routers
• Data centre uplinks and device-to-device links
• High-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: QSFP+ / QSFP28 male to male
• Compatibility: Designed for QSFP+/QSFP28 100 Gigabit ports (e.g., MikroTik CCR2216, CRS504)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug each QSFP+ / QSFP28 end into the corresponding 100 Gigabit port on the networking devices. Ensure ports are powered and configured for the desired link settings on each device. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it for neat cable management; the 3 m length allows flexible placement of devices without excess slack.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-range direct attach connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and protect the connectors when inserting or removing to preserve signal integrity and connector lifespan.
