The QSFP-100G-CU refers generally to a series of Cisco 100GBASE-CR4 Passive Copper Direct Attach Cables (DACs) in the QSFP form factor, available in various lengths (e.g., 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 3m, 5m). These cables are designed for high-density, low-power, short-distance 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, commonly used within data centers and for interconnections across adjacent racks. They feature QSFP28 connectors on both ends and use passive twinax copper cable construction, offering a cost-effective solution with low latency. They are typically compliant with IEEE 802.3bm and MSA standards like SFF-8665 and SFF-8636. Power consumption is low, often around 1.5W. Different lengths may use different wire gauges (AWG).
