The JBX03429 100-meter QSFP+ to 4x LC duplex active optical cable represents a cutting-edge solution for organizations seeking high-speed, long-distance fiber optic connectivity. Engineered as a direct replacement for Cisco's QSFP-4XLC-AOC100M, this 40GBASE-SR4 compatible breakout cable leverages advanced active optical technology to deliver exceptional performance at 40 gigabits per second. Key Technical Specifications: This cable features 8 fiber strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, providing optimal signal integrity for extended 100-meter runs. The QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) form factor on one end connects to 4 individual LC duplex connectors on the other, enabling efficient port density and flexibility in modern network architectures. Operating across temperatures from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), it maintains consistent performance in diverse environmental conditions. Safety and Compliance: The cable meets rigorous international standards, including IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 specifications. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing makes it ideal for installations where fire safety and environmental concerns are paramount. Class 1 Laser certification and compliance with FDA 21CFR 1040.10 ensure safe operation in sensitive environments. Full RoHS/ELV directive adherence demonstrates commitment to environmental sustainability. Applications and Use Cases: Perfect for data center interconnects, enterprise switch deployments, and telecommunications infrastructure, this breakout cable simplifies high-bandwidth connectivity. It's particularly valuable in applications requiring flexible port configurations without compromising performance or requiring expensive active electronics at connection points. Quality Assurance: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and manufactured in Vietnam and China using premium materials, this cable offers reliable long-term performance.
