What is a Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M?

Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M are an equivalent solution for overpriced original QSFP-100G-CU2M from Cisco, which primarily serve as a margin product for the manufacturer, filling the pockets of the company at your expense. As today's standard for the transmission of electrical signals in a network, for example in a data center, compatible Cisco QSFP-100G-CU2M Direct Attach Cables (DAC) provide a way to build high-availability connections in high-speed networks on short distances without having to compromise the arbitrary Cisco price policy of the large world conglomerates. A Cisco compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M offers the same range of functions as an original QSFP-100G-CU2M and differs only in the product label. The technical set-up of Cisco compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M and of original QSFP-100G-CU2M is the same as defined by MSA standards. Only the quality of the installed components can vary. Cisco compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M from the brand BlueLAN use only high-quality brand cables (such as Belden, Molex or TE Connectivity) and high-quality ICs (such as Maxim Integrated or Netlogic) and therefore have the same quality or even a better quality as the original QSFP-100G-CU2M from Cisco. If you are not yet familiar with compatible Cisco QSFP-100G-CU2M, please let us know. You can request a test sample from gbic-shop.de to try out a compatible Cisco QSFP-100G-CU2M product in your system.

Benefits of a Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M

QSFP-100G-CU2M DACs are special industrial products which, as a compatible variant, should only be obtained from a specialist in order to benefit from the following advantages of compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M.

Low Cost

QSFP-100G-CU2M DACs from Cisco cost a lot more in comparison to compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M. Depending on the model, well-known products are 50% to 1000% more expensive than compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M from third-party suppliers. Depending on the number of ports required this can quickly increase the cost of a network. In this case, however, it is important not to purchase any compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M junk products where the quality suffers during the production or already during the product design process which leads to link errors or complete failures of a connection after a short period of use. But even long-life compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M with high-quality components like the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M of the BlueLAN brand from gbic-shop.de, which have an above-average lifetime compared to compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M no-name products or conventional compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M brand products, cost only a fraction of the price of original QSFP-100G-CU2M.

Standardized Production

By setting standards and norms for QSFP-100G-CU2M DACs in the internationally appointed Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M can be designed to meet the exact specifications for an exact fit of the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M, the correct design of the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M and the exact operation of the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M. Depending on the choice of the internal installed components, compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M can be just as qualitative as the original QSFP-100G-CU2M. There is therefore no risk of incompatibilities when using compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M insofar the MSA standards are applied. In addition, compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M meet all industrial standards, norms and communications regulations. Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M of the brand BlueLAN from gbic-shop.de meet all specifications and reach or even exceed all standards.

Compatible Programming

Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M must be adapted for the use in its hardware, so that the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M can be recognized correctly and the hardware does not deny working with the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M. Incorrect programming can lead to functional restrictions as well as a complete lack of function. It is therefore advisable to look for a trusted supplier for the acquisition of compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M, who have the appropriate know-how and, if you are concerned, provide a test sample of the desired compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M.

Long Warranty Periods

Some manufacturers do offer limited warranty periods on original products, usually about one year. Others offer life-long warranty periods. However, this lifetime refers to the time while the product is officially offered. If this is terminated as End of Life (EOL) product, the warranty expires. What this says about the real lifetime of a product is left to your imagination. Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M of the brand BlueLAN, on the other hand, have a warranty period of 5 years and an average life expectancy of 10 years with continuous individual support from gbic-shop.de. In the unexpectedly occurring event of a fault of the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M you will always receive a corresponding exchange cable for your compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M within the guarantee period.

Special products

Some cable variants are not available in certain manufacturers' portfolios. Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M can be adapted in such a way that even cable types with other specifications which are not officially supported by the manufacturer can be used to enable special applications or higher ranges. Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M of the brand BlueLAN from gbic-shop.de are 100% compatible, are MSA and RoHS compliant, have an above average lifetime and are available for more than 165 different vendors.

Disadvantages of a Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M

Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M from gbic-shop.de offer no disadvantages in terms of quality, processing and operation compared to original QSFP-100G-CU2M. However, if you only pay attention to the price when buying compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M, you can be surprised badly and cause big problems.

Poor processing - There are manufacturing companies for compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M, mostly in China, which do not respect the MSA standards during the production process and therefore flood the market with compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M products that lack precision, show incompatibilities, cause hardware damage or are simply sloppily manufactured and thus endangering security. Since you cannot notice this by just looking at the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M product, you may experience a bad awakening after a few weeks of operation, if not already immediately after commissioning.

Toxic Substances in QSFP-100G-CU2M - If the production of compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M is not observed to comply with valid industrial and environmental standards, this will lead to a risk to life and limb for you and your employees. Lead and other toxins are used in unclean production processes for compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M, what is strictly prohibited according to RoHS guidelines.

In order to save costs, in addition to saving on know-how of compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M and endangering our environment, saving on certifications such as ISO9001 or non-compliance with work laws and work standards are other aspects on how to minimize the total price of a compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M product. For this reason, caution should be exercised in the case of cheap offers from compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M or vendors that say things they cannot comply with afterwards, what will be revealed firstly when problems occur while using the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M for a time.

Is a Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M as good as an Original?

Yes and No. We cannot answer this question in general. Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M from gbic-shop.de do not have any disadvantages compared to original QSFP-100G-CU2M. Nowadays, there are many compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M that are not even worth the low price they cost. Quickly, the cost of maintenance increases and the savings from buying the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M from the beginning disappear more than quickly. Even if malfunctions or errors do not necessarily occur immediately when using compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M, inferior compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M can already lead to this in a short time. Reasons for this are poor processing, failure to comply with standards and norms and, above all, the use of cables and ICs from Asian manufacturers, in the worst case from China, which have not been able, as of now, to match the quality of traditional companies for transmission technology from the US by far. As with any electronic component, this is naturally reflected in the quality of the compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M product, its longevity and, of course, in the price.

Does a Compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M Void the Warranty of My Cisco Hardware?

No. The use of compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M in Cisco hardware does not void or compromise the warranty of the hardware. Since networks are becoming increasingly heterogeneous and many products from different manufacturers are used, it is only natural for QSFP-100G-CU2M not to be bound to one manufacturer. In so far as you use qualitative compatible QSFP-100G-CU2M, it is also not possible that a defect of the hardware can be caused by a QSFP-100G-CU2M that does not have its own current source.

Each BlueLAN SC282801L2M30 QSFP28 to QSFP28 DAC Direct Attach Cable is covered by a 5-year functional warranty from CBO.

For the entire product lifetime, you will always receive technical support via e-mail and telephone.

The CBO Advance Exchange will include a free shipping of replacement cables from the next business day.
