Arista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-1M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)
The AOC-S-S-25G-1M compatible AOC cable provides 25G connectivity for Arista Networks equipment over a fixed 1m (3ft) assembly. Both ends use the stated SFP28 to SFP28 arrangement. It is inspected and functionally checked before packing, with handling guidance designed to protect the connectors during installation and later service.

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.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
At 1m (3ft), AOC-S-S-25G-1M is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.
Position Within the Length Range
AOC-S-S-25G-1M is the shortest of 11 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is AOC-S-S-25G-2M at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.
Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the route and both connectors before installation, then support the cable without pulling on either connector housing. During maintenance, release the latch properly rather than using the cable as a handle. Keep protection on unused ends, and if the assembly is removed for later use, coil it loosely and record its part number so the same length can be returned to service. 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.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
The cable and both connectors are inspected before a functional link test. Connector protection and bend-safe packing reduce handling damage during transport and storage. Customer or site labels can be added for field inventories, with different lengths separated to simplify issue and return of spare assemblies. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
Arista Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing
A field-ready cable needs both correct identification and a stable operating link. Our pre-packing check therefore includes the connectors, host recognition and link behavior. For equipment with uncertain revision history, providing the host model and software release helps identify compatibility requirements before the assembly reaches the installation site. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity and diagnostic indications.
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-1M.
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-1M refers here to 1m (3ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Ordering Information
Request the cable by its exact part number and length, and state the equipment model if compatibility confirmation is needed. Site orders can list quantities by rack or installation team. Any requested label should retain the part number so a removed or spare cable can still be identified accurately. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to AOC-S-S-25G-1M.
Shipping and Lead Time
Available stock is generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation, with production lead times advised for larger quantities. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.
