Description

The Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M is a 100GbE QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) delivering 25-metre reach over parallel multimode fibre — purpose-built for high-density data centre and HPC interconnects. Running four 25Gbps NRZ electrical lanes, it offers lower power draw and lighter weight than discrete transceiver-plus-patch-cord solutions, making it ideal for top-of-rack to end-of-row cabling and spine-leaf fabric deployments where port counts and cable management are critical.

Compliant with QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8665) standards, the AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M integrates directly with Arista's 100G-capable switches and routers with no additional optics required. Its small bend radius simplifies routing within and between adjacent racks, while full MSA compliance ensures broad interoperability across industry-standard platforms. Order direct from iptrading.com.au — Australian-owned and operated since 2001.

FAQs

Q: What switch ports is the AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M compatible with?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M is designed for use with Arista QSFP28 100G switch and router ports, including platforms such as the Arista 7050X, 7060X, and 7280R series. It is also QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8665) compliant, providing broad interoperability with other industry-standard 100G QSFP28 equipment.

Q: What fibre type does this AOC use — can I connect it to single-mode fibre?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M uses parallel multimode fibre (MMF) internally. As an integrated active optical cable with fixed connectors at both ends, it does not connect to an external fibre plant — simply plug both QSFP28 ends directly into your equipment. It is not compatible with single-mode fibre infrastructure.

Q: How does an AOC differ from a DAC cable or a standard optical transceiver?
A: A Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable uses copper twinax and is best for very short runs (typically under 5m). Standard optical transceivers require separate fibre patch cords. An Active Optical Cable (AOC) like this one uses embedded optical engines to convert signals to light internally, combining the reach advantages of fibre with a single plug-and-play cable — ideal for 5–30m rack-to-rack distances with low power draw and no separate patch cords.

Q: Can this cable be used in a 4x25G breakout configuration?
A: Yes. The AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M supports 4x25G breakout mode operation, making it suitable for connecting a single 100G QSFP28 port to four 25G SFP28 ports when used with appropriate breakout cables or splitter configurations.

Q: Can I purchase the AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian-owned and operated IT hardware reseller, trading since 2001. You can order the Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-25M directly through our website or contact our team for volume pricing, compatibility advice, or project-based procurement assistance.

Q: What other cable lengths are available in this Arista 100G AOC range?
A: Arista offers the 100G QSFP28 AOC series in lengths of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 metres. Contact IP Trading to check stock and pricing across the full range for your specific cabling requirements.
