The JBX03245 5m Arista AOC-D-8S-200G-5M compatible cable is a professional-grade active optical breakout solution engineered for high-performance data center networks. This breakout AOC cable seamlessly converts a single QSFP-DD 200G connection into eight independent SFP28 ports, enabling network architects to maximize switch flexibility and port utilization without requiring additional hardware investments. Technical Excellence: Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber technology, this cable delivers exceptional signal integrity at 200 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. The 16-strand fiber construction provides the necessary bandwidth density while maintaining superior light transmission characteristics. The 5-meter length offers optimal flexibility for typical data center rack configurations and horizontal cable routing. Safety and Compliance: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated OFNR jacketing ensures compliance with building codes and safety standards, reducing toxic smoke and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire. Multiple certifications including UL, FDA 21CFR 1040.10, and TUV validation confirm this cable meets the highest industry safety standards. RoHS and EU Directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmental responsibility. Arista Compatibility: Designed specifically for Arista network ecosystems, this cable directly replaces the OEM part number AOC-D-8S-200G-5M, ensuring perfect compatibility without configuration complexity. Ideal for Arista 7050, 7250, and similar platforms requiring breakout flexibility. Applications: Perfect for enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, AI/ML computing clusters, and high-frequency trading environments where bandwidth and low latency are critical. The breakout configuration enables efficient network scaling in edge deployments and modular switch architectures. Reliability: Operating across 0-70°C temperature range with 90-day limited warranty protection. Ships from strategically located US warehouses (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom brand programming available for OEM and large-scale deployments.
