AOC-S-S-25G-30MArista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-30M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 30m (98ft)
For densely populated equipment, the fixed 30m (98ft) version of Arista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-30M offers a clearly defined 25G link without separate optical modules or patch cords. The AOC assembly uses SFP28 to SFP28; its power, mechanical and diagnostic details are listed where supplied so port density and cable management can be assessed together.

Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
High-Density Rack Integration
In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.
Integrated Optical Assembly
The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
Extended reach changes the installation checks for AOC-S-S-25G-30M. Confirm that 30m (98ft) follows the intended route without tension, then verify that intermediate supports do not squeeze the jacket or hide the connectors behind adjacent cables. Both hosts must still match the stated interface and lane configuration. The next shorter verified assembly is AOC-S-S-25G-25M at 25m (82ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.
Position Within the Length Range
AOC-S-S-25G-30M is the longest of 11 verified length options in this family. Compared with AOC-S-S-25G-25M at 25m (82ft), it provides 5m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
Ordering Information
Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. Keep AOC-S-S-25G-30M associated with 30m (98ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Arista Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing
The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Where supported by the host, receive activity and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Arista Networks cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Arista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-30M.
How should an unused assembly be stored?
Protect both connector ends, keep the cable in a loose bend-safe coil and retain its part-number label so the length and compatibility identity remain traceable.
Can different brands be connected with the same assembly?
Only where both hosts explicitly support the complete interface and compatibility arrangement. Document each end and select the appropriate brand-specific product when required.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. AOC-S-S-25G-30M refers here to 30m (98ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Shipping and Lead Time
Available stock is normally prepared for dispatch within one to three working days, while larger production requirements are scheduled with the order. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
