The Cisco QSFP-100G-CU3M= is a 3-meter passive copper cable designed for 100GBASE-CR4 connectivity. This component facilitates high-speed data transfer between compatible networking devices, such as switches or servers, within a data center or enterprise environment. It is suitable for IT professionals and network architects requiring direct, short-distance 100 Gigabit Ethernet links. The passive nature of the cable means it does not require power and offers a cost-effective solution for inter-rack or adjacent-rack connections where optical transceivers are not necessary. Its 3-meter length provides flexibility for connecting equipment within close proximity, addressing the need for reliable, high-bandwidth physical layer connectivity without the complexity of fiber optics for short runs. The cable features a pull tab for easy handling and a 7mm diameter with a 50mm bend radius.
This cable is designed for short-distance, high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections, typically within a data center for inter-rack or adjacent-rack connectivity between compatible switches or servers.
The cable has a fixed length of 3 meters, suitable for connecting devices in close proximity.
The cable has a diameter of 7mm and a bend radius of 50mm. It also features an orange pull tab for easier handling.
This is a passive copper cable, meaning it does not require external power and is generally used for shorter distances compared to active or optical solutions.
