Product overview
The Cisco 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable, 3m (850nm) is supplied under part number QSFP-100G-AOC3M. Optics have to match at both ends and are frequently vendor-coded, so a module that is electrically correct can still refuse to link. Tell us both switch models and we will confirm compatibility before it ships.
Tell us the switch at each end and we will confirm the coding before anything ships, not after it fails to link.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against QSFP-100G-AOC3M, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Reach checked against the run
Fibre type, connector and distance are checked together, so the optic suits the path and not just the port.
Coded for both ends
Tell us the switch at each end and we confirm the vendor coding before dispatch rather than after a link fails to come up.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is QSFP-100G-AOC3M genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Cisco packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will QSFP-100G-AOC3M work in my server?
- Tell us the switch at both ends of the link. Optics are frequently vendor-coded, so a module that is electrically correct can still refuse to come up; we confirm the coding for both ends before it ships.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Optics and cabling are part of the fabric spec on a cluster build — both ends and the switch have to agree.
