The JBX03641 20m Fortinet-compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ active optical cable represents a cutting-edge solution for enterprise data center connectivity and high-speed networking infrastructure. Specifically engineered as an OEM replacement for Fortinet part number FN-TRAN-QSFP+20M, this cable provides seamless integration into existing network architectures while delivering exceptional performance and reliability. Key Technical Specifications: This professional-grade cable features an 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber core optimized for 40GB data transmission rates. The active optical cable (AOC) design incorporates integrated electronics at both QSFP+ connectors, enabling direct signal conversion and amplification without external transceivers. Operating across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), the cable maintains consistent performance in diverse environmental conditions typical of data centers and network closets. Compliance and Safety: Manufactured in Vietnam and China, this cable meets rigorous international standards including IEEE 802.3ba specifications for 40GBASE-AOC protocols. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing with OFNR (Riser) rating ensures flame resistance while minimizing toxic gas emissions during fires—critical for building codes and safety regulations. Full RoHS compliance and EU Directive 2002/95/EC certification guarantee the absence of harmful substances including lead, mercury, and cadmium. Safety certifications encompass Class 1 Laser designation, UL/FDA approval per 21CFR 1040.10, and TÜV validation. Practical Applications: Ideal for data center upgrades, high-speed campus networks, and enterprise environments requiring reliable 40GB connectivity over medium distances. The 20-meter length accommodates typical rack-to-rack installations and floor-to-floor connectivity scenarios. Active optical technology provides superior performance compared to passive solutions, particularly in noise-prone environments or installations requiring extended reach. Shipping and Support: Available for immediate shipment from distribution centers in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC, with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Each cable includes a 90-day limited warranty, with custom brand programming available for enterprise requirements. Commodity classification 8544.70.0000 ensures proper regulatory handling and documentation.
