Overview
- The Ubiquiti 10 Gbps Active Optical Cable is a long-range SFP+ direct attach cable engineered for high-speed network connectivity over extended distances. At 5 metres, it bridges switching equipment while maintaining full 10 Gbps throughput, making it ideal for data centre layouts where standard copper DACs fall short.
This active optical cable eliminates distance limitations inherent in passive copper alternatives, enabling reliable connections across larger racks and distributed network architectures. The SFP+ connector standard ensures compatibility with enterprise switches, routers, and network appliances across the UniFi ecosystem and beyond.
Designed for IT professionals and network engineers who need dependable high-speed interconnects without signal degradation, this cable combines Ubiquiti's proven reliability with the flexibility of longer cable runs. It's a cost-effective solution for modernising network infrastructure whilst maintaining performance standards.

FAQs
What is the maximum distance for this 10 Gbps cable?
This active optical cable is rated for 5 metres. Active optical technology allows it to transmit over longer distances than passive copper direct attach cables whilst maintaining full 10 Gbps throughput.
Is this cable compatible with my UniFi switch?
Yes, this cable features standard SFP+ connectors and is designed for Ubiquiti UniFi switches and other equipment with SFP+ ports. Verify your switch specifications to confirm SFP+ compatibility.
Can I use this cable for 1 Gbps connections?
Yes, this cable supports both 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps data rates, giving you flexibility to use it across different speed requirements in your network.
What is the warranty period?
The Ubiquiti active optical cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
How does this active optical cable differ from a standard DAC?
Active optical cables use powered optical technology to transmit signals over longer distances (5m in this case) with lower latency and no signal degradation, unlike passive copper direct attach cables which are typically limited to 3-5 metres depending on speed.
Can I daisy-chain multiple cables together?
No, these are single cables designed to connect two SFP+ ports directly. For longer distances, use a different cable rated for that length or introduce active network equipment between connections.
