Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M= 100GBASE QSFP Active Optical Cable, 1 m | Fiber Optic — QSFP-100G-AOC1M=

Keep 100 GbE connections short, direct, and easy to manage. Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M= is a 1 m active optical cable designed for QSFP-based 100GBASE links where equipment sits in the same rack or in very close proximity. In dense infrastructure, shorter runs are not just about distance. They help preserve airflow, reduce front-panel clutter, and make port access easier during maintenance windows. This cable’s active optical construction gives you a cleaner alternative to bulkier copper assemblies while maintaining the short-reach connectivity expected in high-speed data center fabrics. It is a strong fit for switch-to-server, switch-to-switch, and storage interconnects where precision matters more than reach. For teams standardizing on 100 GbE, the value is in the details: a purpose-built cable that supports disciplined rack design, faster troubleshooting, and a more orderly physical layer.
