Description
The AddOn Arista Networks® AOC-Q-4S-100G-4M is a TAA-compliant 100GBase-AOC active optical cable designed to deliver high-speed, reliable connectivity for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments. This QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 breakout cable operates over multimode fiber (MMF) at 850nm with a maximum reach of 4 meters, supporting an aggregate bandwidth of 103.1 Gbps across four independent full-duplex 25G channels.
Engineered to meet MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards, this cable ensures seamless interoperability and performance consistency across a wide range of network equipment. It features low power consumption — 2.5W at the QSFP28 end and 1.0W per SFP28 — and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Each cable is programmed, serialized, and rigorously tested for data integrity and application compatibility.
With support for 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR, this active optical cable is an ideal solution for top-of-rack, server-to-switch, and switch-to-switch interconnects where performance, efficiency, and compliance are essential.
