The JBX03222 50m Cisco-compatible 400GBASE-SR8 QSFP-DD active optical cable represents the cutting edge of data center interconnect technology. Engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern enterprise networks, this breakout AOC delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional copper solutions. Technical Specifications & Performance: This cable features a robust 16-strand OM3 multimode fiber core with 50/125 micron specifications, supporting 400GB throughput with minimal signal degradation. The QSFP-DD form factor connects directly to a single 400G port while breaking out to four separate QSFP56 100GB connections, providing flexible migration paths for evolving network architectures. Operating across the full 0-70°C temperature range, it maintains consistent performance in diverse data center environments. Construction & Safety Compliance: The cable is manufactured with plastic jacketing utilizing OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated materials with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) properties. This combination ensures compliance with fire safety codes while minimizing hazardous emissions. The cable meets or exceeds IEEE 802.3cm, QSFP-DD MSA, and CMIS standards, with full TUV, UL/FDA, and Class 1 Laser certifications. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for high-speed interconnects between Cisco switches, servers, and storage systems in enterprise data centers. Perfect for implementations requiring extended 50-meter cable runs while maintaining signal integrity. Supports migrations from 100GBASE solutions to 400GBASE infrastructure. Compatibility & Installation: Direct replacement for OEM Cisco part number QDD-4ZQ100G-AOC50M. Compatible with all Cisco equipment supporting QSFP-DD form factor and 400GBASE-SR8 standards. Custom brand programming available for enterprise deployments. Warranty & Support: 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind. Ships from US locations (Danville, CA or Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring quick deployment and cost savings.
