Description
Cisco MA-CBL-100G-1M Technical Overview
The Cisco MA-CBL-100G-1M is a high-speed 100G QSFP28 passive copper direct-attach cable designed for short-reach interconnects within data center environments. This MA-CBL-100G-1M assembly facilitates high-density, low-latency connectivity between switches, routers, and servers utilizing QSFP28 ports. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for intra-rack or top-of-rack deployments. The cable is optimized for the Cisco Meraki MS series switches and other compatible hardware platforms requiring high-bandwidth throughput.
Engineered for reliability, the MA-CBL-100G-1M utilizes twinax copper cabling to minimize signal degradation over its 1-meter length. By eliminating the need for separate optical modules, this solution reduces power consumption and thermal output within dense rack configurations. Each MA-CBL-100G-1M unit is field-tested to ensure signal integrity and compliance with IEEE 802.3bj standards. This robust design ensures seamless integration into existing high-performance fabric architectures.
