Description
The Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC30M is a 100GBASE QSFP active optical cable designed for high-speed, short-reach connectivity in data center and high-density networking environments. This 30-meter cable provides a lightweight, low-latency alternative to passive copper, enabling reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet links between QSFP ports across racks or rows.
Built with integrated optical transceivers on both ends, the QSFP-100G-AOC30M simplifies deployment by eliminating the need for separate optics and fiber patch cords. Its slim, flexible design improves airflow and cable management while maintaining consistent signal integrity. The cable is hot-swappable and optimized for use with Cisco switches and routers that support 100G QSFP interfaces.
Ideal for modern data centers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise core networks, this active optical cable delivers dependable performance, reduced power consumption compared to longer copper runs, and cleaner rack layouts.
