The JBX03475 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP+ Active Optical Cable represents a sophisticated solution for modern data center networking requirements. Engineered to replace Dell's OEM 470-ABMP-15M part, this 15-meter cable combines the advantages of optical transmission with the flexibility of a breakout configuration, converting a single QSFP+ 40GB connection into four independent SFP+ 10GB channels. Technical Excellence and Performance Utilizing 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, this cable delivers 40GB speeds while maintaining excellent signal integrity over the 15-meter distance. The multimode configuration provides superior bandwidth capabilities compared to single-mode alternatives, making it ideal for short-to-medium-distance campus and data center deployments. Active optical technology eliminates insertion losses inherent in passive connectors, ensuring maximum power efficiency and reliable performance. Safety and Compliance Standards This cable meets stringent industry requirements with multiple certifications: Class 1 Laser safety, TÜV validation, UL/FDA approval per 21CFR 1040.10, and LN #50 7/2001 compliance. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) flame rating provides critical fire safety in multi-story buildings, preventing flame propagation between floors. Full RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmentally responsible manufacturing and reduced hazardous substance content. Versatility and Compatibility Manufactured in Vietnam and China with rigorous quality control, this cable provides flexible connectivity for Dell-based infrastructure deployments. Custom brand programming is available for enterprise customers requiring customized solutions. The plastic jacketing with integrated fiber strands provides durability while maintaining flexibility for installation in congested cable trays and conduit environments. Practical Applications Ideal for: high-speed server interconnects, storage area network (SAN) implementations, switch-to-switch connections, and enterprise clustering applications. The 15-meter length bridges typical data center spacing requirements without signal degradation. Operating temperature range of 0-70°C supports both standard environmental controls and emergency cooling scenarios. Quality Assurance Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and shipped from strategically located US warehouses in California and South Carolina, this cable ensures rapid delivery and responsive customer support. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 provides exceptional value for enterprise-scale deployments.
