Product Information

Full details

The Ubiquiti UACC-DAC-SFP28-0.5M is a high-speed 25 Gbps direct attach passive copper cable designed for IT professionals and network engineers who need reliable, low-latency connectivity within server racks. It is ideal for short-distance data center applications where organizing space and maintaining high throughput are critical, though its 0.5-meter fixed length limits it strictly to intra-rack deployments.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this cable be used for 10 Gbps connections?

While SFP28 is backward compatible with some SFP+ ports depending on the hardware, this cable is specifically optimized for 25 Gbps operation.

Does this cable require an external power supply?

No, this is a passive cable, meaning it draws no power from the networking equipment.

What is the maximum distance this cable supports?

This specific model is 0.5 meters long, which is its maximum functional distance.

Is this cable compatible with fiber optic switches?

It is compatible with any switch that has an SFP28 port, provided the switch supports copper DAC cabling.

Can I use this for InfiniBand networking?

Yes, this cable supports the InfiniBand protocol.

Troubleshooting

Link not detected by the switch

Ensure the cable is fully seated in the SFP28 port and verify that the switch port is configured for the correct speed (25 Gbps).

Intermittent connectivity or dropped packets

Check the cable for physical kinks or tight bends. Inspect the SFP28 connectors for debris and ensure the connection is secure at both ends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective solution for short-distance 25 Gbps links
  • Passive design requires zero external power
  • Excellent for cable management in high-density racks
  • Supports InfiniBand protocol for versatile networking
  • Low latency ideal for high-performance computing

Cons

  • Fixed 0.5-meter length limits reach to immediate adjacent hardware
  • Not suitable for long-distance runs or between rooms
  • Passive cables are limited by length-dependent signal integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the UACC-DAC-SFP28-0.5M is straightforward due to the hot-swappable nature of SFP28 ports. Simply align the connector with the SFP28 slot on your networking device and push until it clicks into place. Ensure the cable is not bent at a sharp angle to avoid damaging the internal copper shielding.

Regarding compatibility, this cable is designed for devices equipped with SFP28 ports that support 25 Gbps throughput. Before installation, confirm that your switch or network interface card (NIC) is configured to handle the SFP28 standard. For maintenance, keep the connector pins clean and free of dust, and store in a cool, dry environment when not in use.
