Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-M2-LULU-1M-50 100G Fiber Patch Cable
The UACC-OFC-M2-LULU-1M-50 is a compact, lightweight fiber patch cable engineered for high-density 100G network environments. Each cable measures exactly 1 meter in length, supplied as a bulk pack of 50 units per order. This configuration is purpose-built for data center, telecom, and enterprise infrastructure deployments where cable density, rapid provisioning, and minimal footprint are hard requirements.
Key Features
- 100G Transmission Capacity: Supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet speeds without signal degradation. In densely patched switch environments, this means you can run fewer physical cables to hit the same aggregate throughput — a direct space and cost savings in equipment racks.
- 1-Meter Fixed Length: Pre-cut to exactly 1 meter, eliminating on-site trimming and the risk of installation delays. Standard rack-to-adjacent-rack distances in modern data centers typically span 0.5 to 1.5 meters, making this length a practical choice for tightly integrated switch stacks and top-of-rack architectures.
- Lightweight Design: The 'LULU' designation indicates a minimal-weight construction. In high-fiber-count applications—where you may be routing dozens of cables through a single rack—lower mass reduces strain on management hardware and simplifies cable routing without sacrificing durability.
- Bulk 50-Pack Quantity: Ordering 50 cables at once cuts per-unit procurement overhead and ensures consistent fiber characteristics across an entire migration or expansion project. You avoid the fragmentation risk of sourcing cables from different batches or vendors.
- Ubiquiti Ecosystem Compatibility: Designed to mate with Ubiquiti fiber-enabled switches and transceivers. If you're already running a Ubiquiti switching fabric, these cables integrate without compatibility testing—a real advantage in time-to-production.
- Standard Optical Transceiver Support: Compatible with industry-standard 100G optical modules (QSFP28 and similar) from any vendor. This flexibility matters if you're mixing Ubiquiti switches with third-party routing gear or planning multi-vendor redundancy.
Deployment Context
This cable is appropriate for any deployment where 100G trunk or cross-connect fiber runs need to be short and densely packed. Typical use cases include core-to-access switch interconnects, direct-attach server-to-ToR links, and inter-cabinet dark fiber distribution in large data centers. The 1-meter length is optimized for same-rack or adjacent-rack proximity; if your distances exceed 2–3 meters per link, longer pre-terminated cables or bulk spooled fiber may be more cost-effective.
Because this is a passive fiber cable with no electronics, there are no power requirements, no configuration steps, and no firmware considerations—install and forget. The tradeoff: if a cable fails in the field, you must have spares on hand. The 50-pack quantity helps mitigate this, allowing you to pre-stage inventory across your data center locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the UACC-OFC-M2-LULU-1M-50 work with non-Ubiquiti 100G switches?
A: Yes. This is a standard fiber patch cable; it works with any 100G optical transceiver supporting the same connector type (QSFP28 or equivalent). Ubiquiti compatibility is confirmed, but vendor lock-in is not a concern.
Q: What is the connector type on the UACC-OFC-M2-LULU-1M-50?
A: The evidence does not specify the exact connector type (e.g., LC, SC, MTP/MPO). Consult the product datasheet or contact the manufacturer's technical support for connector details before ordering.
Q: Can I order the UACC-OFC-M2-LULU-1M-50 in smaller quantities than 50?
A: This model is sold as a 50-pack. If you need individual cables or smaller bulk quantities, contact a Ubiquiti distributor to explore alternatives or custom ordering.
Q: Is the UACC-OFC-M2-LULU-1M-50 suitable for outdoor or long-distance runs?
A: This is a patch cable optimized for short, high-density indoor runs (1 meter). For outdoor or long-distance fiber, standard single-mode or multi-mode spool cables with appropriate UV-resistant jackets are more suitable.

The UACC-OFC-M2-LULU-1M-50 is a straightforward fiber infrastructure piece—no surprises, but worth understanding the deployment fit. At exactly 1 meter per cable and 50 units per pack, this is a high-volume provisioning tool, not a one-off repair part. If you're scaling a data center or adding new switch stacks to an existing fabric, bulk ordering makes sense. If you're troubleshooting a single failed cable, you'll want spares elsewhere on the shelf.
Technical Highlights:
- 100G Passive Fiber: No transceiver or active electronics on the cable itself—the speed and reliability depend entirely on the optical modules and switch ports you're connecting. If your QSFP28 transceivers are good, these cables will be invisible in operation.
- Lightweight Construction: Reducing cable mass in dense rack environments cuts mechanical stress on bend-radius points and management hardware. In a high-fiber-count top-of-rack scenario (where you might have 20+ cables exiting a single switch), this matters for longevity.
- 1-Meter Fixed Length: No field trimming, no waste, no cable-management guesswork. This length covers same-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects in standard 42U or 48U configurations. Longer runs will require different cable types.
Deployment Considerations:
- Connector Type Not Specified in Summary: The exact connector standard (LC, SC, MTP/MPO) is not called out in the available evidence. Before you commit to a 50-pack, verify the connector type matches your switch transceiver ports—mismatched connectors mean failed deployment and restocking delays.
- Passive Cable, Active Inventory Risk: These are passive components. Fiber doesn't degrade, but if a cable is crushed, kinked, or the connector gets dirty, it fails. A 50-pack gives you margin for field spares, but you still need a handling discipline and storage plan.
Use this cable for what it is: a cost-effective way to standardize short-run 100G patch infrastructure in a large-scale deployment. For single-cable replacements or custom-length runs, you'll find more flexibility in bulk spool or shorter vendor alternatives.
