Cisco QSFP‑100G‑AOC3M Full English Product Description

Cisco QSFP‑100G‑AOC3M is an original Cisco QSFP28‑to‑QSFP28 100GBASE‑SR4 Active Optical Cable (AOC) with a fixed length of 3 meters. This fully‑integrated multimode fiber assembly embeds VCSEL transmitters and PIN‑photodiode receivers inside QSFP28 connectors at both ends to realize electro‑optical signal conversion. Compliant with QSFP28 MSA SFF‑8665 and IEEE 802.3bm standards, it delivers excellent electromagnetic‑interference immunity and flexible cabling solutions for medium‑short‑range 100‑Gigabit point‑to‑point intra‑rack and adjacent cross‑rack interconnections in enterprise, cloud and high‑performance computing data centers.

100 Gbps Full‑Duplex Optical Transmission

Supports 100GBASE‑SR4 Ethernet over four independent 25 Gbps NRZ optical lanes, delivering stable bidirectional 100 Gbps throughput for leaf‑spine network fabrics, switch‑to‑switch, switch‑to‑server and high‑speed storage networking infrastructure.
Active Electro‑Optical Conversion Architecture

Built‑in VCSEL transmitters and PIN‑photodiode receivers convert electrical signals to optical signals. Optical transmission completely isolates electrical noise, eliminating EMI/RFI interference and crosstalk drawbacks found in twinax copper DAC cables.
Lightweight & Flexible Fiber Construction

Thinner, lighter and more pliable than copper twinax cables, meeting strict minimum‑bend‑radius requirements, improving cabinet airflow and facilitating neat cable management within high‑density rack environments.
Hot‑Swappable QSFP28 Interface

Standard hot‑pluggable QSFP28 form factor allows technicians to install or remove the cable without powering down connected switches, routers and servers.
850 nm Short‑Wave Multimode Operation

All‑in‑one integrated design removes requirements for separate optical transceivers and discrete fiber patch cords, simplifying end‑to‑end data‑center cabling architecture.
Standard Pull‑Tab Latch Design

Equipped with pull‑tab latches for convenient insertion and extraction from QSFP28 ports on network hardware.
