What is the maximum distance of this cable?

The QSFP-100G-CU1M-AO supports a maximum distance of 1 meter (3.3 feet) using AWG30 passive twinax copper, ideal for intra-rack connections in data centers. Beyond this, signal integrity degrades without active optics.

Is it compatible with Cisco equipment?

Yes, it is fully compatible with Cisco QSFP-100G-CU1M and over 200 vendors, programmed and tested for 100% compliance. MSA standards (QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8436/8665) ensure seamless integration.

Does it support DDM/DOM monitoring?

Yes, DDM/DOM is supported for real-time diagnostics of cable health, temperature, and performance metrics, aiding proactive maintenance in enterprise environments.

What compliance certifications does it have?

TAA compliant, CE, RoHS, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8436, SFF-8665, IEEE 802.3ba, QDR InfiniBand. ECCN 5A991, HTS 8517.62.0090 (US), suitable for government procurement.

What are the operating conditions?

Operates from 0°C to 70°C, with MTBF of 1,000,000 hours. Passive design consumes no power, weighs 0.4 lb, perfect for dense, standard data center racks.
