Description
The Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC5M is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet active optical cable designed for short-reach, high-density data center and enterprise network deployments. With a fixed 5-meter length and integrated QSFP connectors on both ends, this cable delivers reliable 100G connectivity while reducing weight, bulk, and airflow obstruction compared to traditional copper solutions.
Engineered for low latency and high performance, the QSFP-100G-AOC5M is ideal for switch-to-switch and switch-to-server interconnects within racks or across adjacent racks. Its thin, flexible design simplifies cable management, supports efficient cooling, and ensures consistent signal integrity in demanding network environments.
