The JBX03351 3-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) represents cutting-edge technology for ultra-high-speed data center networking. Engineered as a direct replacement for Juniper's QDD-400G-AOC-3M, this QSFP-DD form factor cable delivers exceptional 400GB connectivity for next-generation network infrastructure. Key Performance Features: This cable utilizes 16-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber to achieve the demanding 400GBASE-SR8 standard. The Active Optical Cable design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and adapters, reducing latency and simplifying installation. With a 3-meter length, it's optimally sized for rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch connections in densely populated data center environments. Safety and Compliance: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing ensures compliance with OFNR (Riser-rated) requirements, making it suitable for vertical cable runs and enclosed spaces. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 Laser safety, TUV approval, UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), and full RoHS/ELV directive adherence. The cable operates reliably across 0-70°C temperature ranges, accommodating various data center environments. Technical Specifications: Qualified to IEEE 802.3cm and QSFP-DD MSA standards, this cable guarantees seamless compatibility with Juniper switching equipment. The 12x12x3mm compact dimensions facilitate high-density deployments. Manufactured in Vietnam and China with stringent quality controls, each cable includes a 90-day limited warranty. Applications: Ideal for hyperscale data centers, cloud infrastructure, financial trading platforms, and research institutions requiring ultra-low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity. The AOC technology provides superior performance compared to traditional copper cables while reducing power consumption. Value Proposition: Qualifying orders enjoy free standard shipping from distribution centers in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC. Custom brand programming is available for enterprise deployments. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or building new high-performance networks, the JBX03351 delivers reliability and performance at scale.
