The JBX03209 represents cutting-edge optical interconnect technology for modern data centers and enterprise networks. This 25-meter 400GBASE-SR8 active optical cable (AOC) serves as a direct replacement for Arista's AOC-D-4Q-400G-25M, providing seamless compatibility with existing infrastructure investments. **Key Technical Specifications:** This breakout cable utilizes QSFP-DD form factor on the source end, distributing signals across four QSFP56 ports for ultimate flexibility. The OM3 50/125 multimode fiber core supports high-speed transmission with minimal signal degradation over the 25-meter length. With 16 fiber strands and advanced active electronics, the cable achieves full 400GB/s throughput as specified in IEEE 802.3cm standards. **Safety and Compliance:** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR-rated jacket ensures fire safety compliance in plenum and non-plenum environments. Class 1 laser certification, UL/FDA approval (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV validation guarantee safe operation. Full RoHS/ELV directive compliance (EU 2002/95/EC) makes this cable suitable for global deployments. **Performance Advantages:** Active optical technology eliminates signal degradation associated with long copper runs. The OM3 multimode specification balances cost-efficiency with performance, making this ideal for enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and high-performance computing environments. Operating temperature range of 0-70°C ensures reliability across typical data center conditions. **Applications:** Perfect for: Server-to-switch connections, fabric interconnects, backup systems, and performance-critical network upgrades. The breakout configuration enables efficient scaling of 400G infrastructure by distributing bandwidth across multiple 100G endpoints. **Warranty and Support:** 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with fulfillment from strategically located U.S. facilities. Custom brand programming available for enterprise deployments requiring proprietary identification.
