Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC10M= 100G Active Optical Cable 10m

The Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC10M is a 100 Gigabit active optical cable designed for high-density, short-reach data center connectivity. Leveraging integrated optics and silicon photonics, this 10-meter AOC eliminates the signal integrity challenges of electrical copper while delivering superior density in constrained top-of-rack and spine switching environments.

Deployed extensively in hyperscale AI and GPU cluster architectures, the QSFP-100G-AOC10M supports low-latency, lossless fabric interconnect between compute nodes and aggregation switches. The active optical architecture enables longer reach than passive direct-attach copper (DAC) while maintaining the simplicity and latency profile required for synchronized machine learning workloads and real-time data movement across rack boundaries.

This cable integrates QSFP form-factor transceivers at both ends, allowing direct connection to QSFP-capable line cards and switches without requiring separate transceiver modules. The 10-meter fixed-length configuration optimizes cable management in densely wired data center topologies where flexibility must balance against performance and power efficiency.

Ideal for

• GPU cluster intra-rack and inter-rack fabric connectivity for distributed AI training and inference workloads
• Top-of-rack to spine switching in hyperscale data centers requiring 100G+ aggregate throughput
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster node-to-node and node-to-switch interconnect
• Real-time analytics platforms requiring low-latency, lossless Ethernet between compute and storage tiers
• Machine learning inference serving infrastructure with dense QSFP port densities
• Enterprise data center refresh projects consolidating 40G/50G fabric into unified 100G architectures
