Overview
The Ubiquiti UACC-AOC-QSFP28-20M is a 20-meter UniFi 100G Long-Range Direct Attach Cable designed for high-speed network interconnection between compatible QSFP28 interfaces. It uses active optical technology with OM3 fiber and provides a QSFP28 connector at each end.
High-Speed Network Connectivity
The cable supports data rates of up to 100 Gbps and also supports 40 Gbps operation. Its QSFP28-to-QSFP28 configuration provides a factory-terminated optical connection for compatible networking equipment without requiring separate optical transceivers and a fiber patch cable.
Optical and Physical Construction
The UACC-AOC-QSFP28-20M uses OM3 fiber and an 850 nm wavelength. The cable has an aqua PVC jacket with a 3 mm outer diameter and a minimum bend radius of 30 mm, providing a relatively compact physical profile for rack and data-center cable routing.
Compatibility
The cable uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends and is specified by Ubiquiti for QSFP28 and QSFP+ interfaces. Equipment compatibility should be confirmed against the specific switch, network adapter, or other QSFP28/QSFP+ device being connected.
Key Features
- 20-meter cable length for longer network interconnects
- Supports 100 Gbps and 40 Gbps data rates
- QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connector configuration
- OM3 optical fiber with 850 nm wavelength
- 3 mm aqua PVC jacket with 30 mm minimum bend radius
Applications
The UACC-AOC-QSFP28-20M can be used for high-bandwidth interconnections between compatible networking equipment, including switch-to-switch and other QSFP28-based network links where a 20-meter optical connection is required.
DC Supplies Product Note
Because this is a QSFP28-to-QSFP28 active optical cable, both connected devices must provide compatible QSFP28 or supported QSFP+ interfaces. The 20-meter length is fixed for this MPN, so it should be selected when the installation requires the corresponding cable reach rather than the shorter 5 m, 10 m, or longer 30 m versions in the same product family.
