Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M Active Optical Cable 1 Meter

Description:

The Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M is a high-performance cable that enables 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connectivity over short distances. It uses multimode fiber for data transmission, making it a cost-effective solution for data center applications where short-range connections are needed.

Here are some key points about the Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M:

High Speed: Supports data rates of up to 100Gbps, ideal for demanding applications like cloud computing and video streaming.
Short Reach: Designed for use in data centers where connections between devices are typically within a rack or across adjacent racks.
Easy to Use: Hot-swappable design allows for easy installation and removal without powering down equipment.
Low Power Consumption: Compared to traditional copper cables, AOCs use less power, which can help reduce data center energy costs.
Applications:

Data center interconnections between switches, servers, and storage devices.
High-performance computing clusters.
Enterprise core and distribution networks.
Things to Consider:

While Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M is a Cisco branded product, there are also compatible AOCs available from other manufacturers that may be more cost-effective.
The 1 meter reach limit may not be suitable for all applications. For longer distances, consider using QSFP-100G transceivers with passive copper cables or single-mode fiber.
