Description

This Arista active copper breakout cable connects one 400G OSFP port to four 100G QSFP ports over a 5 metre run. It is built for high-density data centre links between OSFP switch ports and 100G QSFP servers, storage or switches, whether in the same rack or an adjacent one.

The OSFP end carries 8x 50G PAM-4 electrical lanes, while each of the four QSFP ends presents 4x 25G NRZ lanes as a QSFP100 interface. A gearbox in the QSFP end converts 2x 50G PAM-4 lanes to 4x 25G NRZ. The cable is a pre-terminated 400GBASE-CR8 to 4x 100GBASE-CR4 twinax assembly, so no separate optics are needed. It is powered from the host port, with a maximum of 10W at the OSFP end and 4W at each QSFP end. The active design supports the 5m length, beyond the 3m limit of passive 400G twinax.

It connects a 400G OSFP port to four 100G QSFP100 ports. A related QSFP-DD variant is available as H-D400-4Q100-xM in 1, 2, 3 and 5 metre lengths. Check the Arista Transceiver Compatibility Matrix for supported platforms and EOS versions.

FAQs

Q: What ports does this breakout cable connect?
A: It connects one 400G OSFP port (8x 50G PAM-4 electrical lanes) to four 100G QSFP100 ports (4x 25G NRZ lanes each).

Q: Does it need external power?
A: No. It is powered from the host port. Maximum power is 10W at the OSFP end and 4W at each QSFP end.

Q: Why is this an active cable rather than passive?
A: The active design lets the cable reach 5m, whereas passive 400G twinax is limited to 3m. A gearbox in the QSFP end converts 2x 50G PAM-4 lanes to 4x 25G NRZ lanes.

Q: Is there a version for QSFP-DD ports?
A: Yes. The related QSFP-DD variant is H-D400-4Q100-xM, available in 1, 2, 3 and 5 metre lengths.

Q: How do I confirm platform and software support?
A: Check the Arista Transceiver Compatibility Matrix for supported platforms and EOS versions before ordering.
