Ubiquiti UniFi SFP28 Passive Direct Attach Cable 1m

The Ubiquiti UniFi SFP28 Passive Direct Attach Cable is a high-speed network interconnect designed for short-range, high-bandwidth connections between compatible networking equipment. It is a fixed-length, 1-metre copper cable assembly that terminates in SFP28 connectors, providing a direct, cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers and fibre cabling for very short distances within racks or between adjacent devices. This is a passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC), meaning it requires no external power and uses a twin-axial copper construction. It supports data rates up to 25 gigabits per second (25Gbps) and is backward compatible with 10 gigabit SFP+ ports, adhering to standards like 10GBASE-CR and SFP+. The cable features a durable PVC jacket, is typically black in colour, and offers the advantages of low latency, low power consumption, and a compact form factor compared to bulkier CX4-style cables. The cable is ideally suited for connecting switches, routers, servers, and storage devices in data centre, enterprise, or high-performance computing environments where SFP28 or SFP+ ports are available. It provides a reliable, plug-and-play solution for creating short, high-speed links within a rack or between nearby racks, simplifying cabling and reducing overall infrastructure cost and complexity compared to active optical solutions.
