Description

The Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-20M is a 100GbE QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable delivering 100G throughput over 20 metres of multi-mode fibre. Designed for data centre spine-leaf interconnects and high-performance computing environments, it supports four-channel full-duplex operation at 4 x 25 Gb/s, making it ideal for high-density 100G switch, router, and server port deployments where passive copper DAC cables fall short on reach.

Built to the QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 standard, the AOC-Q-Q-100G-20M is RoHS compliant, CE certified, and factory tested for guaranteed compatibility with Arista 100G platforms. With under 3.5W power dissipation per cable end and low cable weight, it suits high-port-count architectures without compromising airflow or thermal management.

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum reach of the AOC-Q-Q-100G-20M?
A: This cable supports a link length of 20 metres over multi-mode fibre. Arista also offers AOC variants in 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 25, and 30 metre lengths for different rack and row spacing requirements.

Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Arista switches and servers?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-20M is built to the QSFP28 MSA SFF-8665 standard, making it physically compatible with any standard QSFP28 port. However, some vendors lock transceivers via firmware; always verify third-party compatibility before deployment.

Q: What is the difference between an AOC and a DAC cable for 100G applications?
A: A Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable uses copper conductors and is limited to shorter distances (typically up to 5 metres). An Active Optical Cable (AOC) uses fibre optics with active electrical-to-optical conversion at each end, supporting longer reaches up to 30 metres while maintaining very low power consumption and light cable weight.

Q: What type of fibre does this cable use?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-20M uses multi-mode fibre (MMF) with an 850nm VCSEL transmitter — the standard for short-reach 100G data centre interconnects.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-20M in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking Arista optics and cables. Contact the team for availability, volume pricing, and fast local dispatch.

Q: What power does this AOC consume?
A: Each cable end dissipates less than 3.5W, making the AOC-Q-Q-100G-20M suitable for high-density deployments where power and thermal budgets are critical considerations.
