Q. Where else can the MTP-12 and MTP-24 cables be purchased?

To enable customers to rapidly test and implement a whole variety of 40G and 100G interfaces a

range of fiber cables can be ordered directly from Arista Networks. These cables come in a choice

of 3m (12’) and 5m (15’), which addresses the most common lengths needed for small installations

or when doing product evaluation and testing. Both single mode and multi-mode (OM4) are also

available to match the wide range of 10G, 40G and 100G duplex and parallel technologies that are

supported via Arista QSFP+ and MXP interfaces. The following table provides a reference to the

cables available. The detailed specifications of each cable are available from Arista Networks

account teams and include length of cable fan-outs, end-to-end patch information (key orientation

and pinned/unpinned) and fiber mappings.
