Description

The Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M is a 100GbE QSFP28-to-QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) delivering 100 Gbps over 10 metres of multi-mode fibre. Designed for high-density data centre and HPC environments, it provides four-channel full-duplex operation at 4x25G with multirate capability from 10 Gb/s to 25 Gb/s per channel — making it ideal for direct-attach interconnects between Arista 100GbE switches, routers, and servers where low power and low weight are critical.

Compliant with the QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 standard, this pre-terminated AOC draws less than 3.5W per cable end and supports operating temperatures from 0°C to 70°C. It integrates seamlessly into Arista spine-leaf and core/distribution architectures, helping network engineers maximise port density without compromising on reach or reliability.

FAQs

Q: What switches and routers is the AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M compatible with?
A: This AOC is designed and validated for use with Arista 100GbE switches, routers, and servers — including popular platforms like the Arista 7050CX3, 7060CX2, and 7280 series. It complies with the QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 standard, which also enables broad compatibility with third-party 100GbE QSFP28-equipped equipment.

Q: What is the maximum reach of this cable?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M supports a link length of 10 metres over multi-mode fibre. Arista also offers this AOC family in lengths of 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 20, 25, and 30m for deployments requiring shorter or longer in-rack and inter-rack runs.

Q: How does an Active Optical Cable differ from a DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable?
A: An Active Optical Cable (AOC) uses optical fibre and active electrical components inside each connector to convert and transmit signals as light, enabling longer reach and lower EMI compared to copper DAC cables. AOCs are lighter and thinner than DAC cables, making them better suited to high-density racks and longer intra-data-centre runs up to 30m.

Q: What is the power consumption of this cable?
A: Each QSFP28 connector end of the AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M dissipates less than 3.5W, keeping total cable power draw very low — an important factor when deploying at scale in high-port-count 100GbE environments.

Q: Can I purchase this cable in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. The Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M is available to order through iptrading.com.au with fast shipping to all Australian states and territories. IP Trading specialises in B2B IT hardware and can assist with volume orders, compatibility queries, and project procurement.

Q: Is this cable suitable for high-performance computing (HPC) environments?
A: Absolutely. The AOC-Q-Q-100G-10M is explicitly designed for data centre and HPC applications where high bandwidth, low latency, low weight, and minimal power consumption are priorities. Its multirate capability (10 Gb/s to 25 Gb/s per channel) also adds flexibility for mixed-speed environments.
