The JBX03148 Active Optical Cable represents enterprise-grade connectivity for next-generation network infrastructure. This 25-meter breakout AOC bridges the gap between QSFP-DD and dual QSFP28 port configurations, making it essential for Arista switch environments requiring flexible port multiplication without signal degradation. **Technical Excellence:** Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with 16 optical strands, this cable delivers consistent 200GBASE-SR4 performance over distances up to 25 meters. The active optical design eliminates traditional copper limitations while providing superior electromagnetic interference immunity compared to passive alternatives. Pre-connectorized endpoints ensure plug-and-play installation with zero field termination required. **Safety & Compliance:** Designed for maximum safety in enclosed network closets and riser environments, the LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) OFNR jacket prevents toxic fume emission during combustion. Comprehensive certifications include UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), Class 1 Laser safety, and TUV approval. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence across global markets. **Deployment Advantages:** The 25-meter length supports extended rack-to-rack and cabinet-to-cabinet runs while maintaining performance integrity. Breakout architecture optimizes port utilization, converting single high-capacity QSFP-DD links into dual QSFP28 connections for granular traffic engineering. Operating temperature range of 0-70°C accommodates standard data center environments without derating. **Quality Assurance:** Included 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in installation. Custom brand programming availability allows OEM integration for enterprise procurement workflows. Ships from US distribution centers with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. **Ideal Applications:** Data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters, carrier-grade network backbones, and enterprise campus networks requiring reliable optical breakout solutions. Perfect for organizations standardizing on Arista platforms seeking certified, compatible interconnect infrastructure.
