Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 30m (98ft)

This HT cable matches the AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M requirement for Arista Networks equipment. The 30m (98ft) assembly supports 40G operation and provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

OEM Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-30MHT Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 30m (98ft), AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M
• 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 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 30m (98ft) 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-Q-Q-40G-30M occupies the middle of this family between AOC-Q-Q-40G-25M at 25m (82ft) and AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M at 50m (164ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 20m. 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to QSFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

When ordering, specify AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M, cable length 30m (98ft) 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.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M and the 30m (98ft) length for easier inventory control.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
