Arista Networks OSFP-400G-2QAO Compatible 400G OSFP 8 x 50G PAM4 IHS/Finned Top to 2 x 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Active Optical Breakout Cable

Use this AOC cable where a 400G link is required between compatible OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56 ports. This HT version corresponds to Arista Networks OSFP-400G-2QAO and covers 3m (10ft); electrical or optical construction follows the AOC specification rather than a detachable transceiver-and-patch-cord arrangement.

AOC assemblies integrate the optical engines and fiber into a single factory-terminated link. They are useful for longer or lighter high-speed connections than copper direct attach, with no fiber polarity or connector cleaning required between separate patch cords and modules.

The OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56 interface and 400G data rate must match the equipment at both ends. The source application is listed as 400G/200G Ethernet. For breakout versions, confirm the lane mapping and the speed of every downstream port; matching connector shapes alone does not establish interoperability.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes the OSFP-400G-2QAO series. Before shipment, we check connector identification, link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the switch, server or accelerator model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

This series is ordered by the base HT part number OSFP-400G-2QAO plus length and compatibility requirement. Available source configurations documented on this page are 3m (10ft); other project lengths can be discussed with the factory, and each length-specific OEM reference is reviewed under its own product configuration.

Every AOC assembly undergoes continuity and link testing, compatibility verification and a visual inspection of both connector ends. Cables are coiled without exceeding their minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in anti-static bags or protective trays before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

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.
