Several Arista 100G transceivers and cables can be used in breakout mode, which means they can be split into four 25G channels. These include:
- QSFP-100G-SR4: 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP optical transceiver, up to 70m over parallel OM3 or 100m over OM4 multi-mode fiber
- QSFP-100G-XSR4: 100GBASE-XSR4 QSFP optical transceiver, up to 150m over parallel OM3 or 300m over OM4 multi-mode fiber
- QSFP-100G-PSM4: 100GBASE-PSM4 40G/100G dual speed QSFP optical transceiver, up to 500m over parallel SMF
- QSFP-100G-PLRL4: 100GBASE-PLRL4 40G/100G dual speed QSFP optical transceiver, up to 2km over parallel SMF
- CAB-Q-Q-100G-xM: 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP to QSFP Twinax Copper Cable, 0.5m to 5m
- CAB-Q-4S-100G-xM: 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP to 4 x 25GbE SFP Twinax Copper Cable, 1m to 5m
- AOC-Q-Q-100G-xM: 100GbE QSFP to QSFP Active Optical Cable, 1m to 30m
- AOC-Q-4S-100G-xM: Arista AOC-Q-4S-100G-xM Compatible QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 Breakout Active Optical Cable, 3m to 30m
These transceivers and cables are interoperable with relevant industry standards when used in the breakout mode, as shown in the table below:

What Is the Minimum Bend Radius of an Optical Fiber?
The minimum bend radius of an optical fiber is defined as the smallest radius to which the fiber can be bent while still maintaining normal transmission of optical signals. In practical terms, it is the minimum curvature radius that the fiber can endure without causing excessive signal loss, modal dispersion,
AEC Active Cable Testing Solution – Deciphering AEC Performance Step by Step
With the continuous expansion of data centers and the increasing demand for high-performance computing, the AEC (Active Electrical Cable) has emerged as an effective high-speed, short-distance transmission solution. Major cloud service providers—such as Google, AWS, and Microsoft—have already embarked on large-scale deployments of AEC, while hardware manufacturers like Nvidia have
Why Do 400G/100G Optical Ports in Switches Require Forward Error Correction (FEC)?
Introduction Optical networks require the use of Forward Error Correction (FEC) to guarantee reliable communication. Similar to how a reader may overlook a single spelling mistake in a text but struggle when errors accumulate, digital transmissions—encoded as sequences of “0”s and “1”s—are subject to inevitable signal attenuation and bit errors.
