Ubiquiti UACC-AOC-SFP10-5M Active Optical Cable 10gbps 5M

Product Description

The UBIQUITI UACC-AOC-SFP10-5M is an active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on each end, designed to carry 10 Gbps data traffic across a 5-meter run. Unlike passive DAC (direct attach copper) assemblies, an active optical cable uses internal transceivers and a fiber strand to extend reach while keeping insertion loss low. The cable ships as a single, ready-to-install assembly with integrated SFP+ plugs. Network technicians and structured-cabling installers deploy it in high-density switching environments where reliable 10 Gbps links are required between adjacent racks or top-of-rack switches.

This AOC is suited for data center, enterprise LAN, and commercial network installations where short fiber runs must fit into SFP+ ports without requiring separate transceivers and patch cords. Typical use cases include connecting 10 Gbps switches, routers, servers, and network appliances housed in the same room or adjacent equipment racks. The integrated SFP+ form factor allows direct insertion into any standard SFP+ cage, eliminating the need for additional media converters.

Key Features

• 10 Gbps throughput over a 5-meter active optical cable assembly
• SFP+ form factor on both ends for direct insertion into standard SFP+ cages
• Active optical design extends range beyond passive copper DAC cables
• Single-unit assembly simplifies installation with no separate transceivers required
• Low-profile integrated connector reduces cable management complexity in dense rack environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with network switches, routers, and server adapters equipped with standard SFP+ ports operating at 10 Gbps. Verify SFP+ cage compatibility with your specific equipment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians or structured-cabling professionals. Power down or disable the relevant SFP+ port before inserting or removing the cable assembly to avoid potential damage to the transceiver circuitry. Insert the SFP+ plugs firmly until the locking latch clicks into place, and route the cable with appropriate bend-radius management to protect the internal fiber strand. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for the cable; sharp bends can permanently degrade optical performance.
