Description

The Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M is a 100GbE QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) delivering 100 Gbps over 30 metres of multi-mode fibre at 850nm. Designed for high-density data centre, enterprise core, and HPC environments, this pre-terminated, plug-and-play cable provides a cost-effective, low-power alternative to discrete transceivers and patch cables — ideal for intra-rack and inter-rack 100G interconnects.

Operating across four full-duplex channels at up to 25 Gb/s per lane, the AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M supports 100G Ethernet, OTU4, and 4x InfiniBand EDR protocols. Its lightweight, slim form factor simplifies cable management in high-density deployments, while QSFP28 MSA and IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4 compliance ensures broad interoperability. RoHS-6 compliant and hot-pluggable for seamless integration. Upgrade your network with gear from iptrading.com.au — Australia's IT hardware specialists.

Features

- Four-channel full-duplex active optical cable for 100 Gbps aggregate throughput

FAQs

Q: What switches and routers is the AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M compatible with?
A: This AOC is fully compliant with the QSFP28 MSA standard, making it compatible with Arista switches and routers featuring QSFP28 ports — including the 7050CX3, 7060CX2, and 7280R series — as well as other MSA-compliant platforms from Cisco, Juniper, and Mellanox/NVIDIA.

Q: What is the maximum reach of this active optical cable?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M supports a reach of 30 metres over multi-mode fibre. For shorter distances, Arista also offers AOC variants from 1m to 20m, while longer distances may require discrete QSFP28 transceivers with structured cabling.

Q: How does an AOC differ from a DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable?
A: Active Optical Cables use optical fibre internally and offer advantages over DAC cables at longer distances (beyond ~3–5m), including lower signal attenuation, lighter weight, and improved EMI immunity. AOCs are the preferred choice for inter-rack runs of 10–30m in data centres.

Q: Does this cable require any special configuration or licensing?
A: No. The AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M is plug-and-play with no additional licensing or driver installation required. It is hot-pluggable and is automatically detected by compatible platforms.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist stocking Arista transceivers and AOCs. Contact us for pricing, lead times, and volume purchasing enquiries.

Q: Is this AOC suitable for high-performance computing (HPC) environments?
A: Yes. The AOC-Q-Q-100G-30M supports 4x InfiniBand EDR (96.97 Gbps) in addition to 100G Ethernet and OTU4, making it well-suited for HPC clusters, storage interconnects, and hyperscale data centre fabrics requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links.
