Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC7M= 100GBASE QSFP28 Active Optical Cable, 7m

This Cisco QSFP28 active optical cable (AOC) delivers full 100 Gigabit Ethernet throughput over a 7-meter fiber optic link, integrating QSFP28 transceivers on both ends for a plug-and-play, hot-swappable connection. Ideal for high-density data center and enterprise core deployments, it provides a reliable, low-latency interconnect with minimal power draw.

Advantages

Each end consumes less than 2.5W, reducing overall energy costs while maintaining 100G performance. The LSZH jacket enhances fire safety in enclosed spaces, and compliance with IEEE 802.3bm, RoHS, CE, and FCC ensures broad interoperability and environmental responsibility. Hot-swappable connectors minimize downtime during installation or maintenance.
