Description

The Arista CAB-O-2Q-200G-1M is a 1-metre passive Twinax Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for high-density, low-latency data centre interconnects. It splits a single 200GBASE-CR8 OSFP port into two 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP connections using 8 x 25G NRZ electrical lanes, enabling seamless migration from 200G Arista switch infrastructure to legacy 100G QSFP server or network equipment. Passive copper construction eliminates active components, minimising power consumption and signal latency — ideal for top-of-rack deployments where density and cost efficiency are priorities.

This cable is fully certified on Arista platforms running EOS 4.23.0 or later and integrates natively with CloudVision for centralised management. EEPROMs are pre-programmed to signal 25G NRZ data rates, ensuring compatibility with legacy NIC software and non-Arista 100G QSFP equipment. Hot-swappable and plug-and-play, it requires no additional configuration beyond correct port mode settings. In stock and ready to ship from iptrading.com.au — order now for fast dispatch.

FAQs

Q: What does the CAB-O-2Q-200G-1M breakout cable connect?
A: It connects a single 200GBASE-CR8 OSFP port on an Arista switch to two separate 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP ports on servers or other network equipment, using 8 x 25G NRZ electrical lanes split across both QSFP connectors.

Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Arista equipment?
A: Yes. The EEPROMs are programmed to indicate 25G NRZ data rates, ensuring compatibility with legacy 100G QSFP NICs and non-Arista equipment. It is particularly well-suited for connecting Arista switches to servers with standard 100G QSFP ports.

Q: What EOS version is required to use this cable?
A: The CAB-O-2Q-200G-1M is certified on Arista platforms running EOS 4.23.0 or later. The OSFP port must also be configured for 200G mode using 8 x 25G NRZ electrical lanes.

Q: Does this cable require external power or active components?
A: No. This is a fully passive Twinax copper DAC cable with no active components. It draws minimal power and offers inherently low latency, making it ideal for latency-sensitive, high-density rack environments.

Q: Is the CAB-O-2Q-200G-1M available in other lengths?
A: Yes. Arista offers this breakout cable in 1m, 2m, and 3m variants (CAB-O-2Q-200G-1M, 2M, and 3M). Contact IP Trading to enquire about availability of other lengths.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista CAB-O-2Q-200G-1M in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) stocks Arista DAC cables and ships Australia-wide. The CAB-O-2Q-200G-1M is available for fast dispatch, and our team can assist with bulk orders, compatibility queries, and Arista ecosystem integration advice.
