Short white SFP28 direct-attach cable with matching connectors

Ubiquiti Networks

Ubiquiti Networks UniFi SFP28 Uplink Cable 6 inch White

SKU CH-5BV6-ZAAT6

A 6-inch direct-attach cable linking UniFi devices at 25, 10 or 1 Gbps with SFP28 connectors

  • High-speed data transfer at 25 Gbps via SFP28 direct attach
  • Auto link optimization enables seamless 1G, 10G, and 25G interconnects
  • Robust PVC jacket construction ensures reliable long-lasting connections
  • 6-inch length designed for compact Ubiquiti device integration
  • Broad SFP28 to SFP28 compatibility across UniFi networking equipment

Short Reach Interconnect

This 6 inch direct attach cable links Ubiquiti switches and routers through SFP28 ports. It handles 1G, 10G and 25G speeds with auto link optimisation. The white PVC jacket protects the conductors during routine handling. It is intended for adjacent devices inside the same rack or cabinet.

Replaces Longer Patch Leads

The short length removes slack that blocks airflow and catches on neighbouring cables. It is worth choosing when two SFP28 ports sit side by side or in adjacent rack units. Longer copper or fibre leads add bulk without any speed benefit for these distances. Buyers who need to span multiple racks or rows cannot use this cable.

Rack Build Integration

The cable plugs directly into any SFP28 cage that accepts 1G, 10G or 25G modules. No separate transceivers or power adapters are required. Its stiffness keeps the run straight, freeing vertical space for other patch cords. Installations that require coloured coding for circuit identification will need a different jacket colour.

Questions about this item

What SFP28 port spacing does the 6-inch cable require for a direct connection?

The 6-inch length is designed for adjacent SFP28 ports on the same device or neighbouring rack units, so measure the centre-to-centre distance before ordering.

Which end do I insert first when the auto link optimization handshake starts?

Insert both SFP28 connectors fully until they click; the cable then negotiates 25, 10 or 1 Gbps automatically without a preferred insertion order.

When should I replace the PVC jacket if it shows surface abrasion?

Replace the cable once the white PVC jacket is cut or cracked, because exposed conductors can cause intermittent 25 Gbps links.
