FAQs
What is the difference between this direct attach cable and optical transceivers?
Direct attach cables are passive copper interconnects that connect directly between compatible QSFP28 ports. They eliminate the need for transceivers, reducing cost and complexity, but are suitable for shorter distances (typically up to 5–7 metres). Optical transceivers are required for longer distances and fibre-based connections.
Is this cable compatible with both 100 Gbps and 40 Gbps networks?
Yes, the Ubiquiti QSFP28 cable supports both 100 Gbps and 40 Gbps data rates, making it compatible with mixed-generation network environments and providing flexibility for infrastructure upgrades.
Can I use this cable for distances longer than 1 metre?
This cable is 1 metre in length. For longer interconnects, you would need to order additional cables or consider optical transceiver solutions designed for extended distances.
What devices are compatible with QSFP28 connectors?
QSFP28 connectors are found on modern high-speed network switches, routers, server network interface cards, and storage systems. Check your equipment specifications to confirm QSFP28 port availability before purchasing.
Is installation straightforward?
Yes, direct attach cables are plug-and-play. Simply insert the cable into compatible QSFP28 ports on both ends. No configuration or additional components are required.
What warranty coverage is included?
The Ubiquiti QSFP28 cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
