Features and Benefits
The QSFP-100G-CU1M Cisco 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP Passive Copper Cable is a high-speed, low-cost, and energy-efficient solution for connecting switches, servers, routers, and other network devices. Here are some key features and benefits of this cable:
Features:
- 100GBASE-CR4: This cable supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over copper technology, allowing it to transmit data at very high speeds.
- QSFP+ form factor: The QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) form factor allows for hot-swappable installation and easy removal, reducing downtime.
- Passive copper: This cable uses passive copper technology, which means that it doesn't require any additional power to operate.
- 1-meter length: The 1-meter length is ideal for short-reach applications in data centers.
Benefits:
- High-speed connectivity: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable can transmit data at speeds of up to 100 Gbps, making it ideal for high-speed data center applications.
- Low cost: Passive copper technology is a low-cost alternative to active optical cables (AOCs) or optical transceivers, making it an affordable solution for high-speed data center applications.
- Energy-efficient: The passive copper technology used in this cable requires no power, making it an energy-efficient solution that can help reduce data center power consumption.
- Easy to install: The QSFP+ form factor allows for easy installation and removal of the cable, reducing downtime and making it easy to replace or upgrade.
- Reliable performance: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable is designed and manufactured by Cisco, a leading provider of network infrastructure solutions, ensuring its reliability and quality.
Design and Construction
The QSFP-100G-CU1M Cisco 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP Passive Copper Cable is a high-speed, low-cost, and energy-efficient solution for connecting switches, servers, routers, and other network devices. It is designed and constructed with the following key elements:
- Cable Jacket: The outer layer of the cable is the cable jacket, which is made of a flame-retardant PVC material that meets industry safety standards. The cable jacket protects the internal wires and helps prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
- Copper Conductors: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable is a passive copper cable, meaning that it uses copper conductors to transmit electrical signals over the cable. Copper conductors are widely used in data center cabling because they are cost-effective and offer high-speed data transfer rates.
- QSFP+ Connectors: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable features QSFP+ connectors at both ends, allowing it to plug into switches, servers, routers, and other network devices that support this form factor. The QSFP+ connector is a high-density, hot-pluggable interface that supports data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps per lane.
- EMI Shielding: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable is shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from affecting the signal transmission. The shielding is achieved through the use of a conductive adhesive that covers the cable's outer surface.
- Cable Length: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable is designed to be 1 meter in length, making it suitable for short-reach applications in data centers.
In conclusion, the QSFP-100G-CU1M Cisco 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP Passive Copper Cable is designed and constructed with a flame-retardant PVC cable jacket, copper conductors, QSFP+ connectors, EMI shielding, and a 1-meter cable length. These elements work together to provide a high-speed, low-cost, and energy-efficient solution for connecting switches, servers, routers, and other network devices in data center environments.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
The QSFP-100G-CU1M Cisco 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP Passive Copper Cable is a reliable and high-performance cable, but sometimes issues can arise that affect its performance. Here are some common issues that you may encounter with this cable and some troubleshooting tips to help you resolve them:
- Poor Connection: Sometimes, the cable may not be connected properly, which can cause issues such as intermittent connectivity or dropped packets. Ensure that the connectors at both ends of the cable are fully inserted and latched.
- Bent or Damaged Connectors: If the QSFP+ connectors at either end of the cable are bent or damaged, they may not make a proper connection. Inspect the connectors and straighten any bent pins or replace any damaged connectors.
- Cable Length: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable is designed for short-reach applications, so using it for longer distances may result in signal degradation. Make sure you're using the right length of cable for your application.
- EMI and RFI Interference: If the cable is exposed to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI), it can cause performance issues. Try re-routing the cable away from sources of EMI and RFI or shielding the cable.
- Compatibility Issues: The QSFP-100G-CU1M cable is designed to be compatible with devices that support 100GBASE-CR4 technology, so if you're having issues, check the compatibility of your devices with this cable.
- Cable Damage: Sometimes the cable can get damaged during installation or use, which can cause signal issues. Inspect the cable for any physical damage and replace the cable if necessary.
