The JBX03436 represents a premium-grade active optical solution specifically engineered for high-speed enterprise and data center networking applications requiring QSFP+ to multi-LC connectivity. As a direct compatible replacement for Juniper's JNP-QSFP-4XLC-1M, this 1-meter breakout cable eliminates the need for expensive OEM components while delivering identical performance and reliability. **Technical Specifications & Performance** This active optical cable features 40GBASE-SR4 signaling, providing 40 gigabits per second aggregate throughput across four independent LC duplex channels. The cable utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber—the industry standard for short-reach data center interconnects—with eight fiber strands (four transmit, four receive) ensuring full-duplex communication. Qualified to IEEE 802.3ba specifications, the cable meets the most demanding performance standards for optical signaling. **Construction & Safety** Built with premium materials including plastic jacketing and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) compound rated to OFNR (Riser) standards, this cable meets stringent safety requirements for building installations. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 Laser approval, UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), TUV validation, and RoHS/ELV directives, ensuring deployment in regulated environments. **Application & Compatibility** Ideal for Juniper-based network infrastructures, this breakout AOC excels in data center switch-to-server, switch-to-storage, and server-to-server interconnects requiring short-distance, high-bandwidth connections. The 1-meter length provides optimal flexibility for rack-mounted equipment spacing without excess cable management overhead. **Operational Performance** Rated for continuous operation from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), this cable delivers consistent performance across varying environmental conditions. Custom brand programming options accommodate specific organizational requirements, while the 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for critical deployments. **Value Proposition** Offering significant cost savings versus OEM Juniper components without sacrificing quality or compatibility, the JBX03436 represents an intelligent procurement choice for budget-conscious IT departments. Ships from strategically located U.S. facilities with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring rapid deployment and reduced procurement costs.
