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:
