Cisco Compatible Active Optical Cable (AOC) Connects Network Equipment at Speeds up to 100 Gbps Black Box QSFP28 Active Optical Cables provide premium, error-free performance for data, storage, and high-performance computing (HPC) interconnectivity. 100% compatible to Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC3M= and other lengths, you can rest assured when making connections amongst your Cisco switches, routers, and servers. Constructed for full compliance with the QSFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), SFF-8636, and SFF-8665 industry standards, you can also make connections amongst your non-Cisco, non-proprietary 100Gb networking equipment. Programmed, tested and serialized to ensure compliance and functionality, Black Box Active Optical Cables are the ideal solution for 100Gb Ethernet, Infiniband (4xEDR, 4xFDR, 4xQDR), 4G/8G/16G/32G Fiber Channel applications and more.

The Black Box QSFP-100G-AOC3M-BB is a 3 m QSFP28 active optical cable rated for data rates up to 100 Gbps, designed for Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC3M-compatible links between switches, routers, and servers in data-center networks.
Recommended For
- Data-center teams linking two 100G QSFP28 ports across a short, 3-meter run—such as between switches, routers, or servers—who want one pre-terminated cable assembly rather than separate transceivers and fiber.
- Cisco network operators connecting supported Cisco QSFP28 equipment who want a cable explicitly positioned as compatible with Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC3M.
- HPC or storage-network teams making a short point-to-point 100G link, or a supported InfiniBand connection, between equipment with compatible QSFP28 ports.
- Rack installers routing a short optical link in a dense equipment area who value a lighter, thinner cable than a comparable copper direct-attach cable.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In a data center rack, an administrator needs a short 100G link between compatible switches. The 3-meter AOC provides a single pre-terminated connection, avoiding separate transceivers and patch fiber.
- When connecting a compatible server to a 100G switch nearby, an IT team can use the cable as a direct point-to-point link. Its fixed optical ends make the connection straightforward, without separate optics at each end.
- In a dense rack, a technician wants to keep high-speed cabling from adding unnecessary bulk around equipment. The cable’s thin, lightweight optical construction can make routing easier and put less strain on ports than thicker copper cabling.
- For a short connection between compatible 100G routers or other network equipment, a network operator can use the cable as a direct link. The expected result is a simple point-to-point connection, provided both devices support the cable’s QSFP28 interface and coding.
- In a high-performance computing or storage setup, an operator can use the cable for a short link between compatible equipment running a supported application such as InfiniBand or Fibre Channel. The connection keeps the link integrated into one cable assembly; endpoint and protocol compatibility should be checked before deployment.
