The JBX03456 100-meter Cisco QSFP+ active optical breakout cable represents the gold standard in enterprise-grade network connectivity. As a direct replacement for the Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC100M, this cable delivers exceptional performance across extended distances while maintaining compatibility with existing Cisco infrastructure. Technical Excellence: This breakout AOC utilizes 8 fiber strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber to support 40GBASE-SR4 transmission at full 40Gbps aggregate bandwidth. The innovative design allows a single QSFP+ port to split into four independent 10GbE SFP+ connections, enabling unprecedented flexibility in network architecture design. Durable Construction: The cable features LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing with OFNR (Outdoor Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating, making it suitable for various installation environments including plenum spaces and outdoor deployments. Compact dimensions (12x12x100mm) ensure easy routing through cable trays and conduit systems. Compliance & Safety: Fully RoHS/ELV compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC certifications. Multiple safety approvals include UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10, TÜV, and Class 1 Laser certification, ensuring safe operation in any professional environment. Reliability & Support: Every cable undergoes rigorous testing to IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 specifications. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while free standard shipping on orders over $99 reduces total cost of ownership. Ideal Applications: • Data center core switching • Server-to-switch connectivity • Enterprise backbone networks • High-density network deployments • Legacy Cisco infrastructure modernization Manufactured in Vietnam and China using premium components, the JBX03456 delivers professional reliability for mission-critical network operations.
