Description

The QSFP-100G-AOCxM-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M series. This active optical cable assembly plugs directly into Cisco QSFP28 100G ports and operates over multi-mode fibre with integrated transceivers at each end. - Complies with IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4 and SFF-8665 QSFP28 MSA, ensuring interoperability with vendor platforms supporting 100G QSFP28 AOC cables - Four independent 25 Gb/s lanes using 850 nm VCSEL technology, providing 100 Gb/s aggregate data rate over internal multi-mode ribbon fibre - Available in ten cable lengths: 1M, 2M, 3M, 5M, 7M, 10M, 15M, 20M, 25M, and 30M - Maximum power consumption 3.5W per terminal, compliant with SFF-8636 digital diagnostic monitoring interface - Operating case temperature range 0 to 70 degrees C, hot-pluggable electrical interface for simplified deployment and cable management in high-density rack environments

Features

• IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4 compliance guarantees electrical and optical interoperability with Cisco QSFP28 100G ports and other vendor platforms supporting the standard
• Four independent full-duplex lanes operating at up to 25.78 Gb/s each, using 850 nm VCSEL transmitter arrays and PIN receiver arrays for parallel optical signal conversion
• Hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor with integrated electro-optical and opto-electrical conversion within the cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules
• SFF-8636 digital diagnostic monitoring provides real-time access to operating parameters including transmit and receive power per lane, temperature, and voltage
• Maximum 3.5W power consumption per terminal enables deployment in high-density environments without exceeding thermal budgets typical of multi-port 100G line cards
• Thin, lightweight fibre construction compared to copper direct-attach cables improves airflow in densely populated racks and simplifies cable routing across and between adjacent racks

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M?
A: Yes. The QSFP-100G-AOCxM-BCC is designed as a direct plug-and-play replacement for the Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC1M series. It matches the QSFP28 form factor, 100 Gb/s data rate, and IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4 electrical interface, ensuring compatibility with Cisco switches and routers that accept the original part.

Q: Which Cisco platforms support this cable?
A: This cable works with any Cisco switch or router that has QSFP28 100G ports supporting active optical cables per the 100GBASE-SR4 standard and SFF-8665 specification. Consult the Cisco 100 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Modules Compatibility Matrix for your specific platform model to confirm QSFP-100G-AOC support.

Q: Why does this cable not require external fibre infrastructure?
A: Active optical cables integrate the multi-mode ribbon fibre and VCSEL/PIN transceiver assemblies directly into the cable assembly at the factory. The QSFP28 connectors contain the electro-optical and opto-electrical conversion circuits, so you simply plug the cable ends into two QSFP28 ports without separate transceivers or fibre patch panels.

Q: Can I hot-swap this cable without disrupting adjacent ports?
A: Yes. The QSFP28 interface supports hot-plug insertion and removal during system operation. The cable draws power only when seated and initializes within 2 seconds per SFF-8665. Adjacent ports remain unaffected as long as you observe normal ESD precautions and do not exceed the mechanical stress limits of the host cage during insertion.

Q: What is the bend radius limit for the internal fibre?
A: Active optical cables typically specify a minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or physical damage to the internal multi-mode fibre ribbon. While the QSFP-100G-AOCxM-BCC uses a flexible 3 mm round cable jacket, avoid bends tighter than approximately 30 mm during installation and route the cable to minimize sharp corners in rack pathways.
