Description

The Arista AOC-O-O-400G-5M is a 400GbE OSFP to OSFP Active Optical Cable engineered for ultra-high-density data centre interconnects and high-performance computing environments. Delivering 400Gbps over OM3/OM4 multimode fibre via 8x 50Gb/s PAM-4 electrical lanes, this 5-metre AOC provides superior signal integrity, lower latency, and better reach than passive copper alternatives — ideal for top-of-rack, spine/leaf, and intra-rack deployments at 400G scale.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Arista 400G OSFP-based platforms including the 7060PX4-32 and 7368X4 Series (requires EOS 4.23.0 or later), this hot-swappable cable supports MSA open standards and delivers the low power consumption required for high-density deployments. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: Which Arista switches are compatible with the AOC-O-O-400G-5M?
A: This AOC is compatible with Arista 400G OSFP-based platforms including the 7060PX4-32 and 7368X4 Series. Arista EOS software version 4.23.0 or later is required for full support.

Q: What fibre type does this cable require?
A: The AOC-O-O-400G-5M is designed for use with OM3 or OM4 multimode fibre (MMF). It supports 400GBASE-SR8 connectivity over parallel MMF infrastructure.

Q: How does an Active Optical Cable (AOC) differ from a Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable?
A: Unlike passive copper DAC cables, an AOC uses optical fibre with integrated active electronics at each end to convert electrical signals to optical. This provides better signal integrity, lower latency, lighter weight, and longer reach — advantages that become significant at 400G speeds and in high-density deployments.

Q: Is the AOC-O-O-400G-5M hot-swappable?
A: Yes. The OSFP form factor is hot-swappable, allowing you to insert or remove the cable without powering down the switch or disrupting other ports — minimising downtime during maintenance or reconfiguration.

Q: Can I purchase this Arista AOC in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) supplies Arista transceivers and cables to Australian businesses with competitive pricing and local support. Contact us for availability, volume pricing, or to discuss your 400G deployment requirements.

Q: What other lengths are available in this Arista 400G OSFP AOC series?
A: The Arista 400G OSFP AOC series is available in lengths of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 metres, giving you flexibility to match your specific rack spacing and data centre topology.
