The JBX03371 5m 400GBASE-SR8 QSFP-DD Active Optical Cable represents the cutting edge of enterprise network connectivity. Specifically engineered for Arista network switches and infrastructure, this cable delivers exceptional performance while maintaining the reliability enterprises demand. **Technical Specifications:** Operating at 400GB/s, this QSFP-DD form factor cable utilizes 16 OM3 multimode fiber strands (50/125μm core/cladding) optimized for short-reach, high-density applications. The 5-meter length provides flexibility for typical data center rack configurations without unnecessary cable runs. Temperature operation ranges from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), suitable for standard climate-controlled environments. **Construction & Safety:** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing provides critical fire safety benefits, particularly in enclosed spaces and data center environments. OFNR riser rating permits vertical installation in cable trays without conduit. Multiple certifications—including Class 1 Laser safety, TUV, UL/FDA (21CFR 1040.10), and compliance with EU RoHS directive 2002/95/EC—demonstrate comprehensive safety validation. **Performance & Compatibility:** Qualified to IEEE 802.3cm and QSFP-DD MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) specifications, this AOC cable ensures plug-and-play compatibility with Arista switching infrastructure. Active optical technology eliminates the signal degradation associated with passive copper alternatives, delivering superior reliability over extended reaches. **Applications:** Ideal for: High-density data centers, enterprise campus networks, service provider infrastructure, and cloud computing environments requiring 400G connectivity. **Additional Benefits:** - Free standard shipping on orders over $99 - Ships from convenient US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) - 90-day limited warranty - Custom brand programming available for enterprise deployments - Direct OEM replacement (AOC-D-D-400G-5M compatible) This investment in premium network infrastructure ensures future-proof connectivity for demanding applications.
