Hello all networking guru! I have a two mikrotik devices (CRS226-24G-2S+RM and new CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+PC) These devices are separated between two racks. Distance between racks is about 3m. I know about native mikrotik 3m DAT cable, but how about OEM cables? I’m googling a 5m, 7m and even 10m cable… Are they works with devices?
Thanks, Dmitry…
not DAT, but DAC 
(direct attach cable)
When in doubt, get optical SFPs and a fiber of sufficient length.
Especially when “between racks”.
Sure, misstyped.
I know about optic, definitely. 10Gbs optic is too expensive. There are a couple of long length DAC’s in the market, this quetion was about them.
I believe 10g optics and a piece of fiber are cheaper than a 10 meter (active) DAC cable…

Wouldn’t waste my time with a DAC either.
