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.

Reliability & Performance
Built for mission-critical network environments, the Addon AOC-Q-Q-200G-5M-AO provides rock-solid performance, low power consumption, and high-speed connectivity without compromise. The use of multimode fiber provides greater resilience to electromagnetic interference (EMI) compared to copper cables, while maintaining signal integrity at higher transmission speeds. The cable’s low profile and flexible construction simplify cable management and improve rack airflow, helping to keep hardware cool and efficient.
The QSFP56 form factor allows for fast, dense port deployment in switches and routers while maintaining backward compatibility with QSFP standards in certain configurations. Each cable undergoes rigorous optical and electrical testing to ensure it meets Arista’s interoperability and performance standards, and its hot-swappable capability allows it to be deployed or replaced without disrupting the active network.
Whether upgrading a hyperscale cloud environment or building out an enterprise core network, this 200G AOC delivers the bandwidth and reliability IT teams demand.
