Addon AOC-S-S-10G-20M-AO

Arista Networks® AOC-S-S-10G-20M Compatible TAA Compliant 10GBase-AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable (850nm, MMF, 20m)

The AddonAOC‑S‑S‑10G‑20M‑AO is an Arista-compatible, 10 Gigabit Ethernet Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for seamless SFP+ to SFP+ interconnections across multi-mode fiber environments. Engineered to meet stringent MSA standards and TAA compliance, it is tailored for enterprise data centers, network racks, and high-performance computing setups. At 20 meters (65.6 ft) and operating at an 850 nm wavelength, this cable is uniquely serialized, thoroughly data-traffic and application tested, and guaranteed 100 % functional. Designed for professionals who demand dependable, plug-and-play optical performance, the AddonAOC ensures effortless deployment with Arista and other MSA port-compatible hardware.

Features

Active Optical Cablelike the AddonAOC‑S‑S‑10G‑20M‑AO integrate optical fiber and transceiver electronics into a single self-contained unit. This design dramatically reduces latency, heat generation, and power draw compared to copper twinax alternatives, while also enabling longer reach—specifically a robust 20 m span. Perfect for rack-to-rack connections, these cables facilitate efficient high-bandwidth links between switches, servers, and storage arrays in dense IT environments.Built to Universal Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and TAA (Trade Agreements Act) specifications, the cable is compatible with any SFP+ interface supporting these standards. Each unit is uniquely serialized and undergoes rigorous application testing—ensuring out-of-the-box interoperability with Arista gear and other compliant systems. This makes deployment simple: no firmware updates or unlock codes are needed—just plug in and go. Whether used in enterprise networking, virtualization clusters, or SA

Advanced Options

AddonAOC‑S‑S‑10G‑20M‑AO is built for reliability in demanding IT environments. Its active optical design provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and maintains excellent signal integrity over 20 m—far beyond what passive copper cables can achieve. Each unit is individually serialized, factory-tested, and programmed to ensure flawless interoperability with Arista and other vendor-compatible switches and servers.
