Arista 400GbE OSFP to OSFP Active Optical Cable, 1 m

The Arista AOC-O-O-400G-1M ties two OSFP ports together with a 1 m active optical cable. Its title says 400GbE, OSFP to OSFP, and the medium is multimode fiber.

With a 1 m length, it suits neighboring devices, for instance a switch and the server mounted next to it. Optical and copper cables can both build the same link; the choice depends on your cabling standard and what you keep in stock.

OSFP cages are required at both ends, so confirm the port type before ordering. Since the optics are part of the cable, there is nothing else to purchase for the link. The cable is available new or refurbished, and each condition offers a choice of 1 year or 3 years of warranty.
