The JBX03609 15-meter HPE-compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ active optical cable represents a cost-effective, high-performance solution for enterprise data center and campus network deployments. Designed as a drop-in replacement for expensive OEM optical cables, this active optical cable (AOC) delivers exceptional value without compromising on quality or performance. Technical Specifications: This cable features a robust construction with 8 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber housed in a fire-rated LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR jacket. The 15-meter length provides flexibility for medium-distance interconnections within data centers and network closets. Compliant with IEEE 802.3ba standards and SFF-8436 specifications, it guarantees interoperability with HPE networking equipment and other industry-standard 40GBASE-AOC compatible devices. Performance & Reliability: With a 40GB data transmission rate, this cable supports demanding bandwidth requirements of modern enterprise networks. The active optical technology eliminates the signal loss associated with traditional copper cables, ensuring clean, reliable signal integrity across the entire 15-meter span. The cable operates reliably across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), making it suitable for various environmental conditions. Safety & Compliance: Fully certified with Class 1 Laser approval, TUV certification, and UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), this cable meets stringent safety standards. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. The OFNR rating provides superior fire protection compared to standard jacketing, critical for building code compliance in professional installations. OEM Compatibility: Direct replacement for HPE part numbers 670760-B26, 808722-B26, and JL288A-15M, eliminating compatibility concerns. Works seamlessly with HPE ProCurve and Arista switches supporting 40GBASE-AOC connections. Value Proposition: Offering custom brand programming availability, this cable allows for organizational standardization and simplified inventory management. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, it delivers enterprise-grade quality at competitive pricing. Ships from strategically located U.S. warehouses (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) for rapid deployment.
