Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 15m (49ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 40G performance with a fixed 15m (49ft) cable run. It corresponds to Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-15MHT Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 15m (49ft), AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

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.

AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M occupies the middle of this family between AOC-Q-Q-40G-10M at 10m (33ft) and AOC-Q-Q-40G-20M at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel. 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 15m (49ft) 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.

Our compatibility setup for Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M is checked together with the physical 15m (49ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

When ordering, specify AOC-Q-Q-40G-15M, cable length 15m (49ft) 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.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

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.
