Arista Networks QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 7m (23ft)

This 7m (23ft) AOC cable is built for Arista Networks equipment requiring the QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M interface. The 40Gbps link uses QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7MHT Part Number: QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M
• 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 QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

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 7m (23ft) 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.

QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC5M at 5m (16ft) and QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC10M at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 3m. 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.

Each QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M 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 QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M with the required quantity. The 7m (23ft) 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.

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, QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M and the 7m (23ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
