Compatible with Arista 400G QSFPDD Active Optical Cable 2M, Speed 400G AOC for Data Center

Active Optical Cable fully compatible with Arista AOCDD400G2M Overview An active optical cable designed for 400G Ethernet links that combines bandwidth, low power, and plugandplay convenience. Ideal for data center interconnects and density switch environments where reliable, speed connectivity is required. Key benefits Extreme bandwidth: Supports a 425 Gbps aggregate data rate to handle demanding traffic, large file transfers, and dense eastwest data flows. 400G Ethernet ready: Implements 400GBASEAOC for native 400G network links and modern QSFPDD port ecosystems. Low power footprint: Power consumption is less than 12 W per side, reducing heat output and helping manage power budgets in dense rack deployments. Easy deployment: QSFPDD to QSFPDD plugandplay connectors simplify installation and minimize configuration time. Compact and flexible: A 2 meter length provides a practical balance between reach and cable management in rack and cabinet layouts. What it does and why you need it This active optical cable delivers a direct, fiberbased 400G connection between QSFPDD ports. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cabling for short to midrange links, reducing component count and simplifying physical layer design. Use this cable when you need consistent throughput with predictable power and thermal characteristics.
