Black Box QSFP-100G-AOC3M-BB 100 Gbps AOC, 3 m

Move 100 GbE traffic with the physical discipline high-density environments demand. This Black Box QSFP active optical cable is built for Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC3M-compatible deployments and gives you a 3 m optical link that fits cleanly between switches, routers, and adjacent infrastructure without the weight and stiffness of copper alternatives. The advantage is not just speed. In crowded racks, optical cabling helps preserve airflow, reduce strain on ports, and simplify cable dressing. The plenum-rated construction supports installations where code-compliant materials matter, while the multimode design aligns with short-reach data center interconnects. For teams standardizing on 100 GbE, this cable offers a practical way to keep the layer physical tidy and predictable. It is a strong fit for top-of-rack, spine-leaf, and adjacent equipment connections where reliability, routing efficiency, and professional rack presentation all carry real operational value.
