The JBX03372 5m Cisco Compatible 400GBASE-SR8 QSFP-DD Active Optical Cable represents the cutting edge of data center connectivity solutions. Designed specifically for demanding enterprise and hyperscale networking environments, this active optical cable (AOC) delivers native 400GB data rates with exceptional reliability and performance consistency. **Technical Specifications:** This cable utilizes 16 fiber strands with OM3 50/125 multimode fiber core, enabling superior signal integrity over short-to-medium distances. The 5-meter length provides optimal flexibility for rack-level and inter-cabinet connections within data centers. Qualified to IEEE 802.3cm specifications and QSFP-DD MSA standards, it ensures complete compatibility with Cisco infrastructure and other standards-compliant equipment. **Safety & Compliance:** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing minimizes smoke and toxic gas emission in enclosed spaces, making it ideal for building installations. Comprehensive certifications include UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), TUV approval, and Class 1 Laser safety classification. RoHS and ELV directives compliance ensure environmental responsibility and reduced hazardous substances. **Performance & Reliability:** Operating across a wide temperature range (0-70°C), this cable maintains consistent performance in varying data center conditions. The active optical architecture minimizes signal degradation, making it superior to passive alternatives for longer runs and demanding applications. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, it represents a secure investment in network infrastructure. **Ideal Applications:** Perfect for 400G network deployments in data centers, enterprise campuses, and high-frequency trading environments. Commonly replaces OEM part QDD-400-AOC5M. The cable ships from multiple US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. **Custom Solutions Available:** Custom brand programming capabilities allow enterprises to integrate this cable with their specific network management and inventory systems. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or deploying new 400G networks, the JBX03372 delivers the performance, reliability, and compliance required by modern data centers.
