Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)

This 1m (3ft) AOC cable is built for Arista Networks equipment requiring the AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M interface. The 40Gbps link uses QSFP+ to QSFP+ and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

OEM Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-1MHT Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M
• 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.

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.

At 1m (3ft), AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M is the shortest of 11 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is AOC-Q-Q-40G-2M at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

Each AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Arista Networks platform should be included with the order.

Use part number AOC-Q-Q-40G-1M for the 1m (3ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

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.
