QSFP-100GB-AOC2M-AO 2M 100GBASE Active Optical Cable Cisco Compatible QSFP-100G-AOC2M

The AddonQSFP-100GB-AOC2M-AO is a Cisco-compatible 2-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) purpose-built for high-bandwidth, low-latency networking applications. Designed to deliver 100GBASE performance, this AOC uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends and supports four lanes of 25Gbps transmission over multimode fiber. It's the ideal short-reach interconnect for high-speed switch-to-switch or server-to-switch connections within data centers, enterprise backbones, or cloud clusters.

Features

As a TAA-compliant and fully hot-swappable cable, it integrates seamlessly into Cisco environments, providing plug-and-play functionality with reduced power consumption and simplified cabling versus traditional transceivers and fiber patch cords.

Advanced Options

The AddonQSFP-100GB-AOC2M-AO combines the performance benefits of fiber optics with the convenience of an integrated cable design. With up to 100Gbps bi-directional throughput and compliance to QSFP28 MSA and IEEE 802.3bm standards, this AOC ensures interoperability with a wide range of Cisco switches, routers, and other networking hardware. Its 2-meter length is optimized for in-rack or adjacent rack applications, supporting high-density deployments with minimal heat generation. This cable is well-suited for demanding applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), virtualized environments, and storage networks.
