Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-7M QSFP28 Active Optical Cable

Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-7M is a 100G QSFP28 active optical cable that delivers four parallel 25 Gbps lanes over multimode fiber with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for short-reach data-center links. At 7 meters in length (approximately 23 feet), it enables direct, high-bandwidth connections between adjacent switches or within a rack without intermediate transceivers or copper cabling. This Arista-compatible AOC is listed in Arista’s hardware compatibility resources as model AOC-Q-Q-100G-7M with a 7 m length, reflecting broad support for Arista-based deployments in 100G Ethernet topologies. The assembly consists of a multimode fiber optic link terminated by QSFP28 modules on each end, offering a plug-and-play solution for 100G intra-data-center connectivity.
