The JBX03527 40GBASE-SR4 active optical cable represents a high-performance solution for modern network infrastructure demands. As a direct compatible replacement for Fortinet's FG-TRAN-QSFP-4XSFP+3M, this 3-meter breakout cable seamlessly integrates into existing enterprise deployments while providing significant advantages over copper alternatives. **Technical Specifications & Performance:** This premium AOC features 8 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, delivering exceptional 40GB/s throughput per channel. The quad SFP+ breakout configuration enables flexible topology solutions, allowing single QSFP+ ports to deliver four independent SFP+ connections—ideal for high-density switch deployments and virtualized data center architectures. **Superior Design & Durability:** Constructed with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR-rated jacketing, this cable meets strict fire safety codes required in commercial and industrial environments. The robust plastic jacketing protects the fiber core while maintaining exceptional flexibility for routing through cable management systems. At just 12mm width and 3mm height, the cable occupies minimal horizontal space while maintaining full 40GB capability. **Compliance & Certification:** Fully qualified to IEEE 802.3ba specifications, this cable meets SFF-8436 form factor standards. Safety certifications include Class 1 Laser approval, UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV verification. RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence across global markets. **Ideal Applications:** • Data center interconnects and switch fabric • High-speed network backbone connections • Server-to-switch uplink infrastructure • Fortinet security appliance deployments • Cloud computing environments • Financial and trading floor networks **Operational Benefits:** • Superior signal integrity vs. copper alternatives • Lower heat dissipation for cooler rack environments • Immune to electromagnetic interference • Future-proof 40GB investment protection • 90-day limited warranty coverage **Logistics & Support:** Ships from multiple US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
