FAQs
What is a direct attach cable?
A direct attach cable (DAC) is a passive copper or active optical cable that directly connects two network devices without requiring separate transceivers. Direct attach cables offer lower latency and cost-effective connectivity for short- to medium-range connections.
Is this cable compatible with my existing network equipment?
The Ubiquiti UACC-AOC-QSFP28-5M is compatible with any device featuring QSFP28 or QSFP+ interfaces, including Ubiquiti switches, routers, and compatible third-party network equipment. Verify your equipment specifications before purchasing.
Can I use this cable for 40 Gbps connections?
Yes. This cable supports both 100 Gbps and 40 Gbps data rates, making it compatible with network equipment operating at either speed.
What is the maximum distance this cable can reach?
This direct attach cable is rated for 5 metres. For distances beyond 5 metres, consider active optical cables (AOCs) or fibre-based solutions with appropriate transceivers.
Do I need to install drivers or configure anything?
No. Direct attach cables are passive plug-and-play connections. Once connected between compatible QSFP28 or QSFP+ interfaces, they require no driver installation or configuration.
What warranty does this cable include?
The Ubiquiti UACC-AOC-QSFP28-5M includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Is this cable suitable for UniFi network deployments?
Yes. This cable is designed for Ubiquiti UniFi infrastructure and is ideal for connecting UniFi switches and network equipment supporting QSFP28 or QSFP+ interfaces.
