Description

The Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M is a 100GbE QSFP28-to-QSFP28 Active Optical Cable delivering 100G connectivity over 1 metre of multi-mode fibre. Designed for high-density data centre switching, spine-leaf interconnects, and HPC environments, it provides a cost-effective alternative to discrete transceivers and patch cables — with no field termination required. Four-channel full-duplex transmission at up to 25 Gb/s per lane ensures reliable, low-latency performance at ultra-short reach.

Fully compatible with all Arista 100G QSFP28 ports and integrated with Arista EOS and CloudVision for streamlined management, this pre-terminated plug-and-play assembly eliminates optics qualification cycles. Multirate capability (10–25 Gb/s per channel) and a maximum power draw of just 3.5W per cable end make it ideal for power-conscious, high-port-count deployments. Buy today from iptrading.com.au — fast shipping and expert service across Australia.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between an Active Optical Cable and a DAC cable?
A: A Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable uses copper conductors and is limited to very short distances (typically 1–5m) with higher signal attenuation. An Active Optical Cable (AOC) like the AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M uses fibre optics with integrated active components at each end, offering lower power consumption, lighter weight, and better EMI immunity — making it ideal for high-density data centre environments even at short reach.

Q: Which Arista switches are compatible with the AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M?
A: This AOC is compatible with all Arista platforms featuring 100G QSFP28 ports, including the Arista 7050CX, 7060CX, 7260CX, 7280R, and 7500R series switches. It is natively supported under Arista EOS and recognised by CloudVision for simplified inventory and management.

Q: Can the AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M operate at speeds below 100G?
A: Yes. The AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M supports multirate operation from 10 Gb/s to 25 Gb/s per channel, allowing it to function in 40GbE (4 x 10G) or lower-speed configurations where the connected ports support it — providing deployment flexibility across mixed-speed environments.

Q: Is this cable suitable for use outside of Arista networks?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M is an Arista-branded and Arista-supported product, optimised for Arista EOS-based infrastructure. While QSFP28 is a standard form factor, Arista recommends using Arista-qualified optics and cables to ensure full software integration and avoid compatibility issues with EOS-based platforms.

Q: Can I purchase the AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking Arista cables and transceivers. The AOC-Q-Q-100G-1M is available for fast shipping nationwide, backed by expert pre-sales advice to ensure the right length and configuration for your deployment.

Q: What other lengths are available in the AOC-Q-Q-100G series?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G series is available in lengths of 1m, 3m, 5m, 7m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 25m, and 30m — covering most intra-rack and inter-rack data centre cabling scenarios. Contact IP Trading to enquire about specific lengths and availability.
