Description

The Arista AOC-D-D-400G-5M is a 400GbE QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD Active Optical Cable delivering 400 Gbps over 5 metres of multimode fibre. Designed for high-density data centre leaf/spine and top-of-rack interconnects, it uses eight 50Gb/s PAM-4 electrical lanes to achieve full 400G bandwidth in an active optical design that is lighter, more flexible, and more power-efficient than traditional copper DAC cables. Compliant with the 400GBASE-AOC standard and QSFP-DD MSA specifications, it integrates seamlessly into Arista's 400G switching platforms including the 7060X4 Series.

The hot-swappable QSFP-DD form factor enables zero-downtime servicing, and the active optical architecture supports high-density deployments — including breakout configurations delivering up to 128x 100GE ports per rack unit. This cable is part of Arista's complete 400G AOC portfolio, available in lengths from 1m to 30m for flexible data centre cabling designs.

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum reach of the AOC-D-D-400G-5M?
A: The AOC-D-D-400G-5M supports a reach of 5 metres over multimode fibre at 400GbE. Arista's 400G QSFP-DD AOC portfolio extends up to 30m for longer in-rack and inter-row data centre runs.

Q: Which Arista switches are compatible with this AOC?
A: This cable is compatible with Arista switches featuring QSFP-DD 400G ports, including the Arista 7060X4 Series and other 400G-capable platforms. It is Arista-coded and validated for use within the Arista EOS ecosystem.

Q: What is the difference between an AOC and a DAC cable?
A: A Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable uses passive or active copper conductors and is typically limited to short reaches of 1–3m. An Active Optical Cable (AOC) like the AOC-D-D-400G-5M uses optical fibre with integrated transceiver ICs at each end, enabling longer reaches up to 30m with lower weight, greater flexibility, and reduced EMI — ideal for structured data centre cabling.

Q: Can this cable be used in a breakout configuration?
A: Yes. When used with compatible Arista platforms, the 400G QSFP-DD interface can be broken out into multiple 100GE or 50GE sub-ports, enabling high-density deployments of up to 128x 100GE ports per rack unit.

Q: Can I purchase the AOC-D-D-400G-5M in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is a trusted Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying Arista transceivers and cables to enterprise and data centre customers across Australia. Order online or contact our team for volume pricing and availability.

Q: Is the AOC-D-D-400G-5M compliant with industry standards?
A: Yes. The cable conforms to the 400GBASE-AOC standard and is compliant with the QSFP-DD Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), ensuring compatibility with QSFP-DD MSA-compliant equipment from other vendors where coding permits.
