Product Description

This 3-meter passive copper cable enables high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections between compatible network devices. It's commonly used in data centers and enterprise networks to link switches, servers, and storage equipment over short distances.

Built for Cisco QSFP+ ports, the cable delivers stable and low-latency performance without requiring additional power, making it a practical choice for dense, high-throughput setups. Network engineers and IT professionals frequently select this cable to optimize their infrastructure with cost-effective direct attach solutions.

Key Features

  • Supports 100GBASE-CR4 standard for high-speed data transfer
  • Passive design reduces energy consumption during operation
  • Ensures compatibility with Cisco QSFP+ interfaces
  • 3-meter length suitable for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections
  • Durable construction for reliable and consistent network performance

These cables are often deployed within data center racks or between adjacent racks where short-range, high-throughput links are essential. Using direct attach copper minimizes latency and complexity in cabling runs, helping maintain clean and efficient network layouts.


Use Cases

The QSFP-100G-CU3M passive copper cable is ideal for short-range, high-throughput connections within enterprise and hyperscale data centers. It serves organizations requiring efficient interconnects for high-performance computing clusters, storage arrays, and network aggregation points where latency and power consumption are critical factors.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting top-of-rack switches to servers in data centers to support virtualization workloads with minimal latency.
  • Establishing direct links between storage clusters and compute nodes in enterprise IT environments for rapid data transfer.
  • Interconnecting network aggregation devices in campus or corporate data rooms where cabling distance is limited.
  • Supporting edge computing deployments requiring compact, energy-efficient 100G connectivity without added transceiver modules.
  • Facilitating high-bandwidth inter-rack communication within high-density server racks in colocation facilities.

By providing a low-latency and power-efficient cabling solution, this passive copper cable helps maintain operational efficiency and scalability for high-density network architectures. Its compatibility with Cisco QSFP+ ports supports seamless integration into existing infrastructure, enabling reliable 100G connectivity where performance and cost control are priorities.
