Description

The Arista AOC-S-S-25G-30M is a 25 Gigabit Ethernet Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-density, high-speed interconnects within data centres and enterprise core environments. At 30 metres, it bridges top-of-rack to end-of-row or cross-aisle connections where passive DAC cables fall short, delivering full 25GbE line-rate throughput with minimal power consumption and no external transceivers required.

Compatible with Arista 7000-series switches and other 25GbE SFP28-equipped platforms, this AOC simplifies cable management with a lightweight, flexible form factor ideal for structured cabling deployments. It complies with IEEE 802.3by and SFF-8402 standards, ensuring broad interoperability across multi-vendor environments. Get it now at iptrading.com.au — authentic hardware, reliable service.

Features

- 25 Gbps full line-rate throughput per lane — ideal for data centre server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects
- 30-metre reach extends beyond DAC cable limitations for top-of-rack to end-of-row deployments
- Integrated SFP28 connectors on both ends — plug-and-play with no separate transceivers needed
- Lightweight, flexible cable construction simplifies routing and improves airflow management in high-density racks
- Low power consumption compared to traditional optical transceiver pairs
- Hot-pluggable SFP28 form factor supports live insertion and removal without system downtime
- Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time optical health visibility
- Multimode VCSEL-based optical engine at 850 nm — proven reliability in enterprise and hyperscale environments
- Compliant with IEEE 802.3by, SFF-8402, and SFF-8431 standards for broad multi-vendor interoperability

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between an AOC and a DAC cable?
A: A Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable uses copper conductors and is limited to shorter reaches (typically up to 5 metres for 25GbE). An Active Optical Cable (AOC) like the AOC-S-S-25G-30M uses internal optical fibre with integrated active electronics, enabling longer reaches — up to 30 metres — with lower signal loss and better EMI immunity, all at a lighter weight than copper.

Q: Which Arista switches is this AOC compatible with?
A: The AOC-S-S-25G-30M is designed for use with Arista 7000-series switches that feature SFP28 ports, such as the 7050CX3 and 7060CX2 series. It is also broadly compatible with other vendor switches and NICs that support the SFF-8402/SFF-8431 SFP28 25GbE standard.

Q: Can this cable be used in multi-vendor environments?
A: Yes. The AOC-S-S-25G-30M conforms to IEEE 802.3by and SFF-8402 industry standards, making it interoperable with 25GbE SFP28 ports from vendors including Cisco, Juniper, Mellanox/NVIDIA, and others. Always verify compatibility with your specific platform before deployment.

Q: Does this AOC support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)?
A: Yes, the AOC-S-S-25G-30M supports DDM (also known as DOM — Digital Optical Monitoring), allowing network management platforms to monitor real-time parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power levels for proactive fault detection.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista AOC-S-S-25G-30M in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading Australia stocks and supplies genuine Arista AOC cables including the AOC-S-S-25G-30M, shipped from within Australia. Visit iptrading.com.au to check availability, pricing, and lead times, or contact our team for volume enquiries.

Q: What fibre type does this AOC use internally?
A: The AOC-S-S-25G-30M uses internal multimode fibre (OM3 or OM4 grade) operating at an 850 nm wavelength via VCSEL lasers. The fibre is fully enclosed within the cable jacket — no external patch cables or transceivers are required.
