Axiom AOC-S-S-10G-20M-AX
The AxiomAOC‑S‑S‑10G‑20M‑AX Active Optical Cable is a 20‑meter, Arista-compatible SFP⁺ AOC designed for high-bandwidth,low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Engineered for data centers, server interlinks, and high-performance computing environments, this cable integrates a transceiver into the fiber for streamlined plug‑and‑play deployment with no separate modules or patch cords. Pre‑programmed and uniquely serialized for Arista compatibility, it ensures seamless interoperability and eliminates vendor lock‑in issues. Lightweight, flexible, and efficient, the AOC enhances airflow and simplifies cabling in dense racks. With support for Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) and compliance with industry protocols, it's a reliable choice for any enterprise seeking efficient, long‑reach optical interconnects.
Features
The AxiomAOC‑S‑S‑10G‑20M‑AX is an Active Optical Cable (AOC) conforming to SFP⁺ MSA and IEEE 802.3ae (10GBASE‑CR) standards, specifically programmed to be Arista‑compatible. Using 850 nm multimode fiber, it transmits 10.3125 Gbps over 20 meters, delivering reliable optical performance typical of genuine Arista AOC‑S‑S‑10G‑20M products . It comes pre‑terminated with SFP⁺ connectors and factory serialized to ensure compatibility and reduce configuration errors
Advanced Options
Ideal for connecting switches, servers, or storage in inter‑rack setups, the cable includes built‑in DDM/DOM via a 2‑wire (I²C) interface for real-time monitoring of optical power, temperature, and voltage . Its OM3 fiber construction allows for high flexibility with a minimal bend radius of 7.5 mm, supporting dense cable routing without signal degradation . Rated to operate reliably between 0 °C to 70 °C, it meets commercial-grade environmental requirements . Some vendors even package it with lifetime warranty and rigorous compliance to MSA/IEEE standards
