The JBX03247 100-meter Arista AOC-D-8S-200G-100M active optical cable represents the cutting edge of data center connectivity solutions, specifically engineered for organizations demanding high-speed, reliable network infrastructure without compromise. **Product Overview** This premium breakout AOC delivers 200GBASE-SR8 performance in a compact, manageable format. The QSFP-DD to 8x SFP28 configuration provides unprecedented flexibility, allowing single high-speed connections to distribute across multiple 25G links simultaneously. This architecture eliminates the need for expensive external breakout switches, reducing both capital expenditure and operational complexity. **Technical Excellence** Constructed with 16-strand OM4 50/125 multimode fiber, the cable maintains signal integrity across the full 100-meter span, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications including virtual machine migration, backup systems, and real-time data analytics. The OM4 classification ensures superior performance compared to OM3 alternatives, with guaranteed support for multiple vendor implementations. **Safety & Compliance** The OFNR (Riser-Rated) LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing meets strict building codes while eliminating toxic smoke in fire scenarios—critical for occupied facilities. Full RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmentally responsible manufacturing. UL, FDA, and TÜV certifications, plus Class 1 Laser safety protocols, guarantee adherence to international standards. **Operational Specifications** Wide operating temperature range (0-70°C) accommodates standard and elevated-temperature data center environments. The 12x12x100mm dimensions provide efficient cable routing through existing infrastructure without requiring additional conduit. **Superior Value Proposition** Shipped from multiple US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC), this cable qualifies for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring OEM-specific configurations. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in long-term deployment reliability. **Ideal Applications** Perfect for: Enterprise data centers, cloud service providers, HPC facilities, financial trading systems, and media production environments requiring guaranteed low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects. **Care & Maintenance** Handle fiber connector ends with appropriate care using industry-standard cleaning procedures. Store in climate-controlled environments and avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable's bend radius specifications.
