Q: What platforms is the AOC-O-O-400G-25M compatible with?

Q: What fibre type does this cable require?
A: The AOC-O-O-400G-25M uses multimode fibre (OM3 or OM4). At 25 metres, it operates well within the reach limits of both OM3 (up to 70m) and OM4 (up to 100m) for the AOC family.

Q: How does an active optical cable differ from a DAC or standard transceiver?
A: An Active Optical Cable (AOC) uses optical fibre with integrated active electronics in the connectors, providing the lightweight flexibility of fibre cabling without requiring separate transceivers. Compared to Direct Attach Copper (DAC), AOCs offer greater reach, lower EMI, and better signal integrity over longer distances while consuming less power per bit.

Q: Is this cable supported by Arista EOS and CloudVision?
A: Yes. The AOC-O-O-400G-25M is fully integrated with Arista EOS and CloudVision, enabling plug-and-play operation with automatic recognition and monitoring within the Arista network management ecosystem.
