The JBX03565 100m Cisco Compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable represents premium interconnect technology for modern data centers and enterprise networks. This active optical cable (AOC) combines the advantages of fiber optics with integrated electronics to deliver exceptional 40GB performance over extended 100-meter distances. Technical Specifications: This cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with eight strands, engineered to meet IEEE 802.3ba specifications for 40GBASE-AOC applications. The QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment from Cisco and other manufacturers. The cable directly replaces Cisco's OEM part number QSFP-H40G-AOC100M, providing seamless integration into existing infrastructures. Performance & Compliance: Operating across a temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable maintains consistent performance in various environmental conditions. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR jacketing provides critical fire safety compliance required in commercial installations. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 Laser safety, UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), TUV approval, and full RoHS/ELV compliance, meeting stringent industry and regulatory standards. Applications & Benefits: Ideal for high-speed interconnects in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications facilities. The 100-meter reach eliminates the need for expensive active equipment or regeneration points, reducing overall system complexity and cost. Active optical cables provide superior performance compared to passive copper alternatives, with lower power consumption and enhanced security through optical isolation. Compatibility: Designed specifically for Cisco equipment but compatible with any QSFP+ 40GBASE-AOC interface supporting IEEE 802.3ba specifications. Custom brand programming is available for OEM applications. Ships with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 from multiple US locations including Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC. Warranty & Support: 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for your network investment. Professional-grade construction and rigorous testing ensure reliable long-term performance in mission-critical applications.
