Description

The Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M is a 100GbE QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable delivering 100Gbps aggregate bandwidth across four full-duplex 25Gbps lanes over 15 metres of multi-mode fibre. Designed for high-density data centre environments, it provides a cost-effective alternative to discrete transceivers and patch cable combinations, with a small bend radius and low weight simplifying installation in dense rack configurations.

Compliant with QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4, and InfiniBand EDR standards, this AOC integrates directly with Arista 100GbE switches, routers, and servers. Its multirate support (10Gbps to 25Gbps per channel) and low power dissipation of under 3.5W per cable end make it well suited for both intra-rack and inter-rack 100G connectivity. Available now from iptrading.com.au — your local source for enterprise-grade networking solutions.

Features

- Four-channel full-duplex active optical design for reliable 100G transmission
- Multirate capability: 10Gbps to 25Gbps per channel for flexible deployment
- QSFP28 high-density form factor maximises port utilisation in spine-leaf architectures
- Low power dissipation (<3.5W per end) reduces overall data centre power overhead
- Lightweight construction ideal for high-port-count switch deployments
- Small bend radius simplifies cable management in congested rack environments
- Eliminates need for separate transceivers and patch cables, reducing cost and failure points
- Suitable for intra-rack and inter-rack 100G interconnects in data centres
- Fully compatible with Arista 100GbE switches, routers, and server adapters
- QSFP28 MSA and RoHS-6 compliant for standards-based interoperability

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum distance supported by the AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M?
A: This Active Optical Cable supports distances up to 15 metres (approximately 49 feet) over multi-mode fibre. It is designed for intra-rack and short inter-rack 100G connections within data centres. For longer reaches, Arista offers SR4 or LR4 optical transceivers with separate patch cables.

Q: Which Arista switches and platforms is this AOC compatible with?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M is compatible with Arista switches, routers, and servers that feature QSFP28 ports supporting 100GbE, including platforms in the 7050X, 7060X, 7170, and 7280 series. It also supports InfiniBand EDR environments.

Q: Can this cable be used with non-Arista equipment?
A: The cable is compliant with the QSFP28 MSA standard, which means it is designed to work with any QSFP28-compliant equipment. However, Arista validates and programs its optics for use with Arista platforms. Compatibility with third-party hardware should be verified before deployment.

Q: What is the difference between an AOC and a DAC cable for 100G connections?
A: A Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable uses copper conductors and is limited to shorter distances (typically up to 5m). An Active Optical Cable (AOC) like this one uses fibre optics with active electrical-to-optical conversion at each end, allowing longer reaches up to 15m or more while maintaining signal integrity and low power consumption.

Q: Is the AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, the AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M is RoHS-6 compliant, meeting the Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements applicable to data centre and enterprise networking equipment sold in Australia and internationally.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking Arista optics and cables including the AOC-Q-Q-100G-15M. Contact our team for pricing, lead times, and volume procurement enquiries.
