Description

This 25m 40GBASE-AOC active optical cable has QSFP+ connectors at both ends and runs over 850nm multimode fibre, providing a pre-terminated 40GbE link between compatible switch ports. It suits short-reach top-of-rack and inter-rack connections in data centre and campus aggregation deployments, avoiding the need for separate optical transceivers and patch cables. The 25m length variant covers longer in-row and adjacent-rack runs within the 40G QSFP+ AOC range.

FAQs

Q: What type of cable is the AOC-Q-Q-40G-25M?
A: It is a 25m QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cable supporting 40GBASE-AOC over 850nm multimode fibre, with the optics permanently integrated into the connectors.

Q: Do I need separate transceivers or patch cables?
A: No. The cable is pre-terminated with QSFP+ connectors at both ends, so it plugs directly into QSFP+ ports without separate optics or fibre patching.

Q: What minimum EOS release is required?
A: Arista 40G QSFP+ active optical cables require EOS 4.13.0 or later.

Q: Can the QSFP+ port be used at 4x10G?
A: QSFP+ ports on Arista 40GbE switches can run as 1x40G or 4x10G, configurable per port. This cable is a straight QSFP+ to QSFP+ link intended for 40G operation between ports.

Q: How does this SKU differ from other AOC-Q-Q-40G lengths?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-40G family is offered in multiple lengths. This SKU is the 25m variant, so choose it when you need a longer short-reach 40G run than the shorter-length options provide.
