The JBX03567 100m 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable represents the pinnacle of high-speed fiber optic connectivity solutions, specifically engineered for Extreme Networks infrastructure. This professional-grade cable delivers exceptional performance for demanding data center environments where speed, reliability, and signal integrity are non-negotiable. **Technical Excellence:** Feature a robust construction combining 8 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber within a durable plastic jacket rated for OFNR (Riser) applications. The cable achieves full compliance with IEEE 802.3ba specifications, guaranteeing 40GB/s data rates across the entire 100-meter span. Unlike traditional copper alternatives, this active optical design eliminates electromagnetic interference and heat dissipation concerns, enabling reliable operation in temperature-sensitive environments from 0 to 70°C. **Safety & Compliance:** Comprehensively certified with RoHS/ELV compliance, Class 1 laser designation, TUV, and UL/FDA certification (21CFR 1040.10). The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing ensures minimal toxic emissions during fires, critical for enclosed data center spaces and plenum environments. **Seamless Integration:** Direct compatibility with Extreme Networks equipment eliminates guesswork and installation delays. This cable replaces OEM part numbers 40G-AOC-QSFP100M, 10318, and 40GB-F100-QSFP, providing cost-effective alternatives without sacrificing performance or reliability. **Ideal Applications:** • Data center backbone connectivity • Server-to-switch high-speed links • Storage area network (SAN) infrastructure • Inter-switch communication • Cloud computing environments • High-performance computing clusters **Value Proposition:** Invest in infrastructure that grows with your organization. The 100-meter reach eliminates costly repeaters and signal boosters, while the active optical architecture provides decades of future-proof technology. With free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 and a 90-day limited warranty, this solution combines professional-grade performance with exceptional customer value. Custom brand programming available for enterprise deployments requiring specialized configurations. Ships from strategically located U.S. facilities in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC, ensuring rapid deployment and minimal lead times for critical infrastructure upgrades.
