AOC-Q-Q-200G-5M-AO – Arista Compatible 200G QSFP56 to QSFP56 Active Optical Cable | 5M | 850nm | TAA Compliant

The Addon AOC-Q-Q-200G-5M-AO is a high-performance 200G Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for short-range, high-bandwidth connectivity in modern data centers and enterprise networking environments. Featuring QSFP56 to QSFP56 connectors and operating at 850nm wavelength, this 5-meter AOC is fully compatible with Arista Networks devices and provides an efficient, low-power solution for connecting switches, routers, and servers across high-throughput infrastructures. With plug-and-play convenience and TAA compliance, this fiber-based cable is ideal for network engineers looking for reliable 200G Ethernet performance without the added complexity of discrete optics and fiber cabling.

Features

Designed for high-speed networking applications, the Addon AOC-Q-Q-200G-5M-AO delivers 200Gbps bi-directional throughput via eight parallel 25Gbps lanes, all within a lightweight and energy-efficient Active Optical Cable. Built with QSFP56 connectors on both ends, this cable is engineered for short-range interconnects of up to 5 meters, perfect for rack-to-rack or top-of-rack switch connections in dense data center environments.

Advanced Options

Operating over OM3/OM4 multimode fiber and at an 850nm wavelength, the cable ensures minimal signal loss, low latency, and high EMI resistance, making it a superior alternative to copper-based DACs for mid-range connections. TAA compliance ensures it meets U.S. government procurement standards, and each unit is rigorously tested for Arista compatibility, ensuring reliable performance out of the box. Its hot-swappable design supports rapid deployment and maintenance, and its thin, flexible profile promotes optimized airflow in high-density network racks.
