The JBX03206 represents a cutting-edge solution for high-speed data center and enterprise networking requirements. As a direct Arista AOC-D-4Q-400G-20M compatible replacement, this 20-meter active optical cable bridges 400GB QSFP-DD ports to four independent 400G QSFP56 ports, enabling flexible network topology configurations without sacrificing performance or reliability. Technical Excellence and Performance This breakout AOC leverages OM3 50/125 multimode fiber technology with 16 individual fiber strands, delivering 400GBASE-SR8 transmission standards capable of sustaining 400GB data rates. The cable's multimode architecture makes it ideal for shorter-distance data center interconnects (up to 100 meters), providing cost-effective solutions compared to single-mode alternatives for campus and in-building applications. Safety, Compliance, and Durability The LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen) and OFNR (Riser Rated) jacketing ensures superior fire safety performance in plenum and riser spaces, meeting building code requirements across North America. Comprehensive certifications including IEEE 802.3cm, QSFP-DD MSA, CMIS, Class 1 Laser, TUV, UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10, and RoHS/ELV compliance guarantee compatibility with enterprise standards and regulatory frameworks. Practical Applications Ideal for organizations implementing 400G infrastructure upgrades, this cable supports: data center backbone connectivity, server-to-switch connections, storage area network (SAN) deployments, and high-performance computing cluster interconnects. The breakout configuration accommodates scenarios where consolidating multiple lower-speed connections into single QSFP-DD ports streamlines cable management and reduces physical infrastructure complexity. Reliability and Support Manufactured to exacting standards and subject to rigorous quality testing, the JBX03206 maintains consistent performance across its 0-70°C operating range. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in the product's durability. With expedited shipping from dual US locations (California and South Carolina) and custom brand programming availability, procurement flexibility meets diverse enterprise requirements.
