Specifications

Applications and Deployment

A passive DAC reduces the connection to one factory-terminated electrical assembly. This is useful where low latency, low interface power and a short managed route matter more than optical reach. Cable gauge, connector construction and host port settings still influence whether the complete link operates reliably. For this series, the listed interface is OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) and the aggregate rate is 400G.

Cable Construction and Routing

For this assembly, the conductor specification is 30AWG; the jacket material is PVC; the minimum bend radius is 34.5mm; the power consumption is 0.1W Per End. These parameters belong in the installation review rather than being treated as catalogue trivia. Route the cable through its intended managers without tension, avoid pressure close to the connector boots and leave enough space to operate the latches. Any service loop must respect the stated bend limit.

Mixed-Vendor Network Operation

A mixed-vendor link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether the two ends use the same compatibility requirement. The related brand links below help locate equivalent-length assemblies, while the physical form factor and lane arrangement must still agree across the complete path. For this series, keep the interface rate, DAC construction and length-specific OEM reference together throughout that review.

Arista Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

Testing addresses the brand-specific identification as well as the operating link and available diagnostics. The same physical cable family can require a different host identity for another equipment vendor, so the intended platform should be supplied when a deployment combines multiple brands or unusual hardware revisions. Series-level inspection is followed by the exact length and OEM configuration selected for dispatch. Functional verification includes link establishment and diagnostic indications where the host exposes them.

Ordering Information

For mixed-vendor projects, identify the equipment at both ends along with the OEM reference, length and quantity. Order each compatibility version under its own part number. If spare assemblies are required, list them separately so labels and test records remain unambiguous. For this series, follow the corresponding length link, quote that exact OEM part number and keep different lengths on separate order lines. HT part number CAB-O-O-400G identifies the product family; the linked page provides the final length-specific identity.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Both ends are inspected and the complete assembly is powered up for a functional check before packing. Connectors are protected individually and the cable is secured without tight bends. Optional labels can distinguish host brand, OEM reference and length for easier spares management. Both connector ends are inspected as part of the complete assembly, and protective packing is selected to avoid tight bends during transport and storage.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
