The JBX03645 20m Intel-compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ active optical cable represents an advanced networking solution for organizations demanding high-speed, reliable data transmission. This active optical cable combines the benefits of optical and copper technologies, providing superior performance over longer distances compared to passive DAC solutions. **Key Features & Benefits:** Operating at 40GB data rates, this QSFP+ cable delivers the bandwidth required for demanding enterprise applications. The OM3 50/125 multimode fiber core supports IEEE 802.3ba specifications, ensuring compatibility with Intel infrastructure and broader industry standards. The 20-meter length accommodates longer inter-cabinet and inter-building distances that typical passive copper cables cannot reliably achieve. **Safety & Compliance:** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR riser-rated jacketing provides critical fire safety in plenum and riser installations, complying with building codes and safety standards. Class 1 laser certification confirms safe operation, while RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensure environmental responsibility. **Technical Specifications:** With 8 fiber strands and plastic jacketing, the cable combines lightweight design with robust protection. The dimensions (12x12x20mm) provide excellent flexibility for tight installation spaces. Operating across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), it adapts to various environments from server rooms to outdoor installations. **Applications:** Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing clusters. The AOC technology reduces power consumption and heat compared to electrical solutions, lowering operational costs.
