InfiniBand/fibre optic cable Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC15M= 15 m

The Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC15M= is a 15-meter active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and high-performance computing environments. Its active optical construction makes the cable thinner and lighter than copper alternatives while supporting low latency and high bandwidth for demanding applications.

Advantages

Active optical construction reduces weight and diameter compared with copper cables, simplifying cable management and routing in dense racks. The QSFP-100G form factor ensures compatibility with QSFP ports on switches, servers and network adapters. Improved airflow in racks is enabled by the slimmer cable profile, which helps cooling efficiency in high-density installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnects within and between server racks in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and storage networks
• Low-latency switching and networking applications requiring 100G links

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into compatible QSFP ports on the networking equipment until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that equipment is powered and configured for 100G links. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For installations in racks, secure the cable to cable management panels to maintain airflow and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Do not exceed the specified minimum bend radius, avoid excessive pulling force when routing, and verify firmware and port settings on connected devices to ensure 100G operation. Store and handle the cable by the connector housings to protect the optical components.
