Description
The Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC15M is a 15-meter active optical cable designed to deliver reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between QSFP ports in high-density data center and enterprise networking environments. Engineered for short-reach applications, this active optical cable provides a lightweight, flexible alternative to copper cabling while supporting efficient airflow and simplified cable management.
Optimized for rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch connections, the QSFP-100G-AOC15M integrates QSFP transceivers on both ends, eliminating the need for separate optics and fiber patch cords. It is hot-swappable and fully tested for interoperability on compatible Cisco networking platforms, making it ideal for modern high-performance network architectures.
