The JBX03246 7-meter Active Optical Cable represents a sophisticated solution for enterprises requiring high-density 200GBASE-AOC connectivity. This Arista AOC-D-8S-200G-7M compatible breakout cable exemplifies modern data center design by consolidating bandwidth into a single QSFP-DD interface that expands into eight distinct SFP28 channels. **Technical Specifications & Architecture:** Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber technology, the cable incorporates 16 individual fiber strands engineered for 200Gbps aggregate throughput. The cable's 12mm outer diameter ensures manageability within dense cable routing scenarios while maintaining structural integrity. Its lightweight design facilitates installation in overhead cable trays and vertical pathways without compromising network reliability. **Safety & Compliance Features:** This cable meets enterprise-grade safety requirements including RoHS/ELV compliance, EU Directive 2002/95/EC standards, and carries certifications from UL, FDA (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV. The LSZH jacketing material prevents toxic smoke and halogen release during fire conditions—critical for enclosed data center spaces. Class 1 Laser safety certification ensures safe operation in all professional environments. **Performance & Reliability:** With an extended operating temperature range from 0-70°C (32-158°F), this AOC cable maintains consistent performance across seasonal variations and diverse data center cooling scenarios. The 7-meter length optimizes cost-efficiency for standard rack deployments while supporting both horizontal and vertical installations through OFNR riser rating. **Deployment Applications:** Ideal for data center backbone upgrades, server cluster interconnection, and storage network acceleration. The breakout configuration enables gradual network migration strategies, allowing operators to leverage existing SFP28 port investments while upgrading core infrastructure to 200Gbps capacity. **Support & Warranty:** Shipped from strategically located US fulfillment centers in California and South Carolina, orders over $99 qualify for complimentary standard shipping. All units include 90-day limited warranty coverage. Custom brand programming is available for enterprise bulk orders requiring OEM integration.
