Description

The Arista AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M is a QSFP+ to QSFP+ 40GbE Active Optical Cable delivering 40Gbps connectivity over 30 metres of multi-mode fibre. Purpose-built for data centre and high-performance computing (HPC) environments, this pre-terminated AOC eliminates the need for discrete transceivers and patch cables, simplifying rack-to-rack and inter-rack cabling deployments. Compliant with SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 standards, it provides guaranteed plug-and-play interoperability across Arista's switching portfolio.

Operating across four independent parallel transmit/receive channels, this cable is fully qualified within Arista's EOS ecosystem — automatically recognised and enabled upon insertion with no manual configuration required. RoHS compliant and available in lengths from 3m to 100m within the AOC-Q-Q-40G series, it suits a wide range of data centre footprints. Visit iptrading.com.au to secure your order — enterprise-grade hardware with expert support.

FAQs

Q: What switches and line cards is the AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M compatible with?
A: The AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M is designed for use with Arista switches and line cards featuring QSFP+ ports, such as the 7050, 7150, 7250, and 7300 series platforms. It is also broadly compatible with third-party equipment supporting the SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 standard.

Q: Does this cable require any configuration in Arista EOS?
A: No. The AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M is plug-and-play within Arista's EOS ecosystem. Upon insertion into a compatible QSFP+ port, EOS automatically recognises and enables the cable without any manual configuration or licensing required.

Q: What fibre type does this cable use, and what maximum distance does it support?
A: This cable uses multi-mode fibre (MMF) and provides a fixed 30-metre pre-terminated length. The broader AOC-Q-Q-40G series covers lengths from 3m up to 100m, making it suitable for a variety of data centre rack and row configurations.

Q: How does an Active Optical Cable differ from a DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable?
A: Unlike DAC cables, which use copper and are limited to short distances (typically under 10m), Active Optical Cables use fibre and active electrical components at each end to extend reach up to 100m. AOCs are lighter, thinner, and generate less heat than copper alternatives at 40GbE speeds, making them ideal for structured data centre cabling.

Q: Can I purchase the AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller supplying Arista transceivers and cables to enterprise, government, and data centre customers. Visit iptrading.com.au or contact our team for pricing, lead times, and volume enquiries.

Q: Is the AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M suitable for high-performance computing (HPC) environments?
A: Yes. The cable is specifically designed for both data centre switching and high-performance computing interconnects, where 40GbE bandwidth, low latency, and reliable optical performance over multi-mode fibre are required across server and storage clusters.
