Overview
- The Ubiquiti 25 Gbps Active Optical Cable is a professional-grade direct attach cable designed for demanding enterprise networking applications. Built with long-range SFP28 technology, it delivers consistent 25 Gbps performance while maintaining backward compatibility with 10/1 Gbps speeds, making it ideal for flexible network deployments.
This cable supports the full range of modern data centre and enterprise switching scenarios. The 20-metre length provides substantial reach for large-scale infrastructure without introducing latency or signal degradation. The aqua-coloured PVC jacket aids in cable management and visual identification within crowded network environments.
Perfect for organisations upgrading to high-speed connectivity or maintaining heterogeneous network speeds across their infrastructure, this cable integrates seamlessly with Ubiquiti UniFi switching platforms and other standards-compliant SFP28-equipped devices.

FAQs
What is the difference between an active optical cable and a passive direct attach cable?
Active optical cables (AOCs) contain integrated electronics that amplify signals, enabling longer transmission distances (up to 100 metres) with better signal integrity. Passive direct attach cables are limited to shorter distances (typically up to 10 metres). This Ubiquiti AOC achieves long-range performance at 20 metres.
Is this cable backward compatible with 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps networks?
Yes. The cable supports 25/10/1 Gbps, allowing it to operate at 10 Gbps and 1 Gbps speeds. This flexibility enables gradual network upgrades without requiring cable replacement.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring SFP+ ports, including Ubiquiti UniFi switches, data centre switches, and other standards-compliant networking devices supporting SFP28 or SFP+ connectivity.
Can I use this cable in outdoor or harsh environments?
This cable has a PVC jacket suitable for standard indoor network environments. For outdoor or harsh conditions, consult Ubiquiti for specialised cable options designed for extended temperature ranges and environmental protection.
What warranty and support does Hyetech provide?
This cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Hyetech provides full support for compatibility verification, installation guidance, and warranty claims throughout Australia.
How does the 20-metre length compare to standard direct attach cables?
Standard passive DACs typically support up to 10 metres. This active optical cable achieves 20 metres, doubling the range whilst maintaining full 25 Gbps performance, ideal for larger installations where distance is a constraint.
Is the aqua colour functional or purely aesthetic?
The aqua colour is primarily for cable identification and management within network racks and installations. It helps distinguish this cable from others in crowded environments, reducing configuration errors.
