The Cisco QSFP-100G-CU5M= is a 5-meter, passive 100GBASE-CR4 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) twinaxial cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Engineered for short-reach, high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections within data centers, it delivers a cost-effective, low-power alternative to optical transceivers for intra-rack and adjacent-rack links. It supports 4 lanes of 25Gbps transmission, fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bm and QSFP28 MSA standards.
100Gbps Total Bandwidth: 4 independent 25.78Gbps full-duplex channels (100Gbps aggregate).
Passive, Low Power: No active components; draws ≤0.5W from the host port.
Hot-Pluggable: QSFP28 form-factor for tool-free installation without system downtime.
Enhanced Flexibility: Minimum bend radius ~33.5mm for dense cable management.
Shielded Twinax Construction: 26 AWG copper with robust shielding for minimal crosstalk.
Standards Compliant: IEEE 802.3bm, SFF-8665 (QSFP28), SFF-8636 (CMIS), RoHS 6.
Cisco Validated: Fully tested for Cisco Nexus 9000/3000, Catalyst 9500/9600, ASR 9900 series.
Cost Efficiency: Lower TCO versus optical solutions for short-reach 100G links.
High Reliability: BER < 10⁻¹⁵; operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C.
Long MTBF: ~50 million hours mean time between failures.
