Description
The Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC3M is a 3-meter active optical cable designed to deliver reliable 100-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between QSFP ports in high-density data center environments. Built for short-reach applications, this active optical cable provides a lightweight, flexible alternative to copper cabling while supporting high throughput and low latency.
Engineered for efficient airflow and simplified cable management, the QSFP-100G-AOC3M is ideal for switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections within racks or across adjacent racks. Fully factory-terminated and tested, it enables fast deployment with consistent performance in demanding enterprise, cloud, and service provider networks.
