Cisco QSFP-100G-CU1M Compatible 100G QSFP28 Passive DAC Twinax Cable - 1m
Warranty: Lifetime
Cisco QSFP-100G-CU1M Compatible 100G QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable - 1 Meter
This third-party 100G QSFP28 passive twinax DAC cable is fully compatible with Cisco QSFP-100G-CU1M and offers a reliable, low-cost alternative for short-reach intra-rack connections in data centers, enterprise networks, and AI/HPC environments.
Engineered to MSA standards, it delivers 100Gbps bandwidth (4x25Gbps lanes) with minimal power consumption and zero signal degradation over 1 meter. Backed by our lifetime warranty and rigorous testing—save significantly vs. OEM without compromising performance.
Key Features
- Cost-Effective Alternative: 70-90% savings vs. genuine Cisco—ideal for scaling networks on a budget.
- Plug-and-Play: Hot-pluggable QSFP28 connectors with pre-programmed EEPROM for seamless Cisco compatibility.
- Low Power & Latency: Passive design (<0.5W consumption) for energy-efficient, high-speed links.
- Lifetime Warranty: Fully tested in real-world environments; same-day shipping available.
- Use Cases: Intra-rack switch-to-switch, server-to-switch, or GPU node connections in AI clusters and hyperscale data centers.
Technical Specifications
- Data Rate: 100Gbps (100GBASE-CR4, 4x25Gbps NRZ)
- Connectors: QSFP28 to QSFP28
- Length: 1 meter (3.3 ft)
- Cable Type: Passive Twinax Copper (typically 30AWG)
- Power Consumption: <0.5W
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C
- Standards Compliance: IEEE 802.3bj, SFF-8665, SFF-8636, MSA compliant
Compatibility
Programmed for full compatibility with Cisco Nexus 9000/3000 series, Catalyst switches, and other QSFP28 platforms. Also works with multi-vendor environments including:
- Arista 7050X/7280R/7500R series
- Juniper QFX5200/5700
- Mellanox/NVIDIA switches
- Broadcom-based systems (MSA compliant)
