The Cisco QSFP-100G-CU1M= is a 1-meter, 100Gbps QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Twinax Cable. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for very short-reach 100G connectivity within data centers, ideal for intra-rack or adjacent rack connections between switches, servers, and storage devices.
100Gbps High BandwidthFour lanes of 25Gbps NRZ for a total full-duplex bandwidth of 100Gbps, compliant with 100GBASE-CR4 (IEEE 802.3bj) and QSFP28 MSA standards.
Passive & Low PowerNo external power required (passive design), with near-zero power consumption, significantly reducing energy costs compared to active cables or optical transceivers.
Ultra-Low LatencyDirect copper connection delivers minimal signal delay, critical for high-frequency trading and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Cost-Effective Short ReachThe most economical solution for 1m connections, offering superior price/performance over optical alternatives.
Robust & Flexible30AWG twinax copper cable with a LSZH/PVC jacket and 33.5mm minimum bend radius for easy routing in dense racks.
Hot-PluggableFully hot-swappable (OIR), supporting plug-and-play installation without system downtime.
Cisco-CertifiedFully tested and validated for compatibility with Cisco Nexus 9000/3000 and Catalyst 9000 series switches.
Visual IdentificationStandard black cable with silver QSFP28 connectors and black pull-tabs for easy identification.
Industrial ComplianceRoHS compliant, operating over a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
