FAQ

Why choose AOC over a DAC for breakout?

AOC reaches much farther (7m here) and is thinner/lighter, ideal when the four 25G endpoints are in adjacent racks rather than the same rack.

What's its length?

7m (23ft), suited to inter-rack or row fan-out.

Is it Arista compatible?

Yes, it matches Arista AOC-Q-4S-100G-7M coding; confirm 4x25G breakout support on the switch port.
