High-Speed 100Gbps QSFP DAC Cable , Low Latency & Plug-And-Play – Cisco Cables And Accessories
 

The Cisco QSFP-100G-CU3M= is a high-performance 100Gbps Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for ultra-fast, low-latency connections in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This passive twinaxial cable offers a cost-effective, plug-and-play solution for short-reach 100G Ethernet, eliminating the need for additional transceivers or power consumption.

Key Features & Benefits

✔ 100Gbps High-Speed Data Transfer – Supports 100G-SR4, 100G-CWDM4, and other 100G standards for seamless high-bandwidth networking.
✔ Ultra-Low Latency – Copper-based DAC ensures faster signal transmission compared to optical solutions, ideal for latency-sensitive applications like AI/ML, financial trading, and cloud computing.
✔ Plug-and-Play Deployment – No external power or signal conditioning required; simply connect between compatible Cisco switches and servers.
✔ 3-Meter Reach – Optimized for short-distance connections within racks or adjacent cabinets (e.g., switch-to-server, TOR interconnects).
✔ Cost-Efficient – More affordable than QSFP-100G optical modules + fiber, reducing overall infrastructure costs.
✔ Cisco Certified & Reliable – Fully compatible with Cisco Nexus 9000/3000 series and other Cisco switches, ensuring stable performance.
