QSFP-100G-AOC3M= is a Cisco original 3-meter 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC). Designed for high-speed 100Gbps Ethernet interconnects, this cable is optimized for short-reach applications within data centers, connecting intra-rack and adjacent-rack equipment. It integrates QSFP28 transceivers with fiber optic cabling, delivering a lightweight, flexible, and interference-free solution for modern high-density networking environments.
100Gbps High-Speed ConnectivityDelivers full-duplex 100 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth (4 × 25Gbps channels), fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bm (100GBASE-SR4) and QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8665) industry standards.
Active Optical Cable (AOC) TechnologyIntegrated optical signal drivers and amplifiers ensure reliable 3-meter transmission. Provides zero electromagnetic interference (EMI) and superior signal integrity compared to copper DAC cables.
Low Power ConsumptionEnergy-efficient design with typical power usage of 3.5W per end, supporting data center energy conservation goals.
Hot-Pluggable QSFP28 Form FactorSupports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) for seamless deployment and maintenance without network downtime.
Ultra-Lightweight & FlexibleConstructed with high-quality OM4 multi-mode fiber (850nm VCSEL). Features a small minimum bend radius (≥30mm) and 3.5mm cable diameter for easy routing in high-density rack environments.
Cisco Compatibility & ReliabilityFully validated, tested, and certified for use with Cisco Nexus 9000/3000 series switches and other 100G QSFP28-enabled platforms.
Industrial ComplianceLSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, RoHS compliant, and operates over a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
Visual IdentificationDistinctive orange pull-tab for quick and easy identification in dense cable deployments.
