Applications and Deployment

AEC assemblies are intended for high-speed electrical links that require active signal recovery or retiming. Confirm host support, per-end power consumption and airflow, and keep both ends on the interface and breakout configuration stated in the specifications.

The QSFP112 to QSFP112 interface and 400G data rate must match the equipment at both ends. For breakout versions, confirm the lane mapping and the speed of every downstream port; matching connector shapes alone does not establish interoperability.

Arista Networks Compatibility and Testing

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes the QSFP-400G-AE series. Before shipment, we check connector identification, link establishment and electrical link stability, signal integrity 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.

Ordering Information

Quote HT part number QSFP-400G-AE, the required length from 1m (3ft) and 3m (10ft), and the OEM part number used by your equipment. The length-specific OEM identifiers above identify the exact product configurations so each reference can be reviewed and ordered separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original Arista Networks cable?

No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible cable for equipment that specifies QSFP-400G-AE, not an original Arista Networks-branded product.

Which lengths are covered by this product page?

This series page covers 1m (3ft) and 3m (10ft). These are the length configurations identified from the source product records; contact us if a different project length is required.

Can this AEC cable connect different port speeds or breakout configurations?

Only when both host ports support the exact aggregate rate, lane mapping and breakout mode stated in the specifications. Confirm the equipment models before connecting unlike interface versions.

Does the cable need separate modules at each end?

No. The connector ends and cable form one complete direct-attach assembly. Do not attempt to detach the ends or treat the assembly as two independent modules.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Every AEC 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.

Shipping and Lead Time

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.
