AOC-S-S-25G-15MArista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-15M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 15m (49ft)
The AOC-S-S-25G-15M compatible cable combines 25G AOC connectivity with a defined 15m (49ft) pathway between SFP28 to SFP28 interfaces. It is intended for Arista Networks equipment and is documented here as a distinct order code, allowing cable schedules, service access and related length selections to be reviewed before installation.

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
Longer assemblies require disciplined cable dressing. For AOC-S-S-25G-15M at 15m (49ft), use the intended managers rather than a diagonal route across the rack, and leave enough space to release each connector. Any service allowance should be loose and supported, with the integrated optical cable and both optical engines protected throughout the path. Within this family, AOC-S-S-25G-10M is shorter at 10m (33ft), while AOC-S-S-25G-20M is the next longer choice at 20m (66ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.
Position Within the Length Range
AOC-S-S-25G-15M occupies the middle of this family between AOC-S-S-25G-10M at 10m (33ft) and AOC-S-S-25G-20M at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
Structured Pathways and Serviceability
Treat the direct-attach assembly as part of the permanent pathway plan even when the link is expected to be temporary. Follow the intended horizontal and vertical managers, maintain the specified bend radius and leave service access around both ports. A small, supported service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack or placed under cable-tie pressure. 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.
Ordering Information
Include the part number, fixed length, quantity and required pathway or rack grouping in the order information. The host model and firmware release are useful for change-controlled deployments. Different lengths should remain separate order lines so delivered labels and packing records agree with the pathway plan. Keep AOC-S-S-25G-15M associated with 15m (49ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Arista Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing
Verification covers the physical connectors, expected host identity and an operating link with available diagnostic indications. We distinguish this complete check from a simple continuity test. Platform model and software release can be reviewed in advance where the installation has strict documentation or change-control requirements. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity and diagnostic indications.
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.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
After connector inspection and link verification, the assembly is coiled without tight bends and packed with end protection. Labels can cross-reference the customer cable schedule, OEM part number and length. This supports both receiving checks and later moves, adds or changes. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
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-15M.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
What details assist a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.
