The JBX03425 30-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) represents cutting-edge connectivity technology for modern data centers and enterprise networks. Engineered specifically for Arista network equipment, this QSFP-DD form factor cable delivers 400GB throughput using the 400GBASE-SR4 protocol standard, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications including cloud computing, virtualization, and large-scale data migrations. Technical Excellence: This cable features 16 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, proven technology for short-to-medium distance transmissions up to 100 meters. The multimode architecture provides excellent bandwidth performance while maintaining cost-effectiveness compared to single-mode alternatives. IEEE 802.3db qualification ensures compatibility with industry-standard network infrastructure and guarantees optimal signal integrity. Safety and Compliance: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing construction protects personnel and equipment in case of fire while minimizing toxic smoke emissions. This riser-rated (OFNR) cable meets stringent building codes and safety requirements. Class 1 Laser certification and FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10) confirm the cable's safe operation in diverse environments. Full RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence. Practical Advantages: At 30 meters, this cable provides flexibility for diverse data center configurations and connectivity scenarios. The plastic jacketing with durable fiber strands ensures excellent bend radius tolerance and durability for frequent cable management adjustments. Operating reliably from 0 to 70°C, the cable handles temperature fluctuations common in varying data center cooling zones. Value Proposition: As a direct replacement for Arista's OEM part number A-D400-Q400-30M, this cable delivers OEM-level performance at competitive pricing. The 90-day limited warranty, combined with free standard shipping on orders over $99, makes this an economical choice for infrastructure upgrades and expansions. Whether upgrading existing networks or building new data center facilities, this AOC cable provides the speed, reliability, and compliance required for demanding enterprise applications.
