Axiom QSFP-DD 400 Gbit/s AOC 3.28 ft
This Axiom active optical cable uses QSFP-DD connectors on both ends and carries 400 Gbit/s over a 3.28 ft fibre run. It is pre-coded for Arista equipment and fully MSA compliant, so it works in any MSA-compliant port. The cable is new and ships with unique serialization for traceability.
Suited for Arista and MSA-compliant 400 Gbit/s links
Network engineers connecting Arista switches or any MSA-compliant 400 Gbit/s QSFP-DD ports will find this cable a direct replacement. Buyers who need a different reach, a different connector type, or a lower data rate should select another cable.
400 Gbit/s over QSFP-DD fibre
The single specification that decides fit is the 400 Gbit/s data rate on QSFP-DD connectors; the link must support that exact rate and connector format for the cable to operate.
Highlights
- 400 Gbit/s throughput for high-density links
- 28 ft reach fits standard rack spacing
- QSFP-DD connectors match Arista port layout
- MSA compliance enables multi-vendor interoperability
- Pre-coded serialization prevents address conflicts

Questions about this item
What does the 400 Gbit/s rating mean when the cable is installed in a switch?
The cable supports a 400 Gbit/s data transfer rate end to end when connected between compatible QSFP-DD ports, delivering full line-rate throughput for 400G links.
Which interface standard does the QSFP-DD connector follow and what does it limit?
The QSFP-DD connectors comply with the multi-sourcing agreement (MSA), ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility across all MSA-compliant platforms.
What physical space is needed to route and secure this 3.28 ft cable?
At 3.28 ft long, the cable fits within a single rack shelf or between adjacent switches, requiring only enough clearance for the QSFP-DD modules and bend radius.
