The JBX03483 1-meter active optical cable represents a cutting-edge solution for data center and enterprise network infrastructure requiring reliable 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout configuration provides exceptional flexibility, allowing a single 40GB connection to be split into four independent 10GB SFP+ channels, or maintained as a unified 40GBASE-SR4 link. Technical Excellence: Constructed with eight OM3 50/125 multimode fiber strands, this cable leverages proven multimode fiber technology optimized for distances up to 300 meters in standard installations. The active optical architecture incorporates integrated electronics that enhance signal conditioning and ensure optimal performance without external power requirements in passive configurations. IEEE 802.3ba standards compliance guarantees interoperability across Dell hardware and most modern networking equipment. Safety & Compliance: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket prevents toxic fume emission during extreme heat events, critical for enclosed data center environments. OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating permits installation in building risers without conduit. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 Laser safety, TUV, UL/FDA approval per 21CFR 1040.10, and full RoHS directive 2002/95/EC compliance. Practical Applications: Perfect for Dell PowerEdge servers, Nexus switches, and legacy Brocade installations requiring high-speed interconnect. The 1-meter length suits rack-to-rack connections in standard data center topologies. The durable plastic jacketing with reinforced strain relief ensures longevity in active environments. Value Proposition: This cable delivers Dell OEM-quality performance at competitive pricing with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while custom brand programming availability accommodates enterprise procurement requirements. Manufacturing in Vietnam and China ensures consistent quality control and reliable supply chains. Care & Maintenance: Protect connector ends with dust caps when disconnected. Avoid sharp bends exceeding minimum bend radius specifications. Regular inspection ensures optimal performance and prevents fiber degradation. Store in controlled temperatures (0-70°C) to maintain signal integrity.
