Cable AOC Ubiquiti UACC-AOC-QSFP28-5M 5m OM3 QSFP28

The Ubiquiti UACC-AOC-QSFP28-5M is a 5-meter active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors and OM3 multimode fiber, designed for 100 Gbps class high-speed links in data centers and enterprise networks. The cable delivers long-reach optical connectivity between QSFP28 ports on switches, routers and servers while maintaining low latency and reliable signal integrity.

Advantages

This AOC supports a maximum data rate of 100 Gbps and uses OM3 fiber for stable multimode transmission over a 5 m length. QSFP28-compatible connectors at both ends enable direct connections without transceivers, reducing power consumption and simplifying installation. The cable is factory-terminated and tested to ensure consistent performance and interoperability with QSFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP28 ports between switches and routers
• Server-to-switch 100 Gbps links in data centers
• High-density rack deployments requiring short to medium optical runs

How to use

Verify that both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and support AOC connections. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot‑swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor. Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it latches. After connection, check link status and monitor the network equipment to confirm negotiated speeds and proper operation.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use AOC cables for short- to medium-reach 100 Gbps links within racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances consider fiber transceivers with appropriate multimode or singlemode fiber.
