Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 50m (164ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M, this QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 50m (164ft) assembly. Its AOC construction provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-50MHT Part Number: AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 50m (164ft), AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M
• 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 extended 50m (164ft) 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-50M is the longest of 11 verified length options in this family. Compared with AOC-Q-Q-40G-30M at 30m (98ft), it provides 20m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

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.

Each AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M 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.

Quote HT part number AOC-Q-Q-40G-50M with the required quantity. The 50m (164ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

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.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
