Arista AOC-O-O-400G-7M Compatible 400G OSFP 8 x 50G PAM4 IHS/Finned Top Ethernet Active Optical Cable, 7m (23ft)

The HT-manufactured AOC-O-O-400G-7M compatible cable provides 400G connectivity for Arista equipment. This 7m (23ft) version is a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

The listed modulation format is 8x 50G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

The rated power consumption is 10W Per End. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is 400G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include CMIS V4.0, OSFP MSA. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

The extended 7m (23ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

AOC-O-O-400G-7M occupies the middle of this family between AOC-O-O-400G-5M at 5m (16ft) and AOC-O-O-400G-10M at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 3m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with AOC-O-O-400G-7M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 7m (23ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Arista software can request a pre-order check.

When ordering, specify AOC-O-O-400G-7M, cable length 7m (23ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
