The JBX03660 25-meter HPE-compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ active optical cable represents the pinnacle of data center interconnect technology. Engineered for enterprises demanding maximum performance and reliability, this cable bridges the gap between legacy 10GB infrastructure and next-generation 100GB networks. **Technical Specifications:** This active optical cable (AOC) utilizes 8 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, providing exceptional bandwidth capacity and signal fidelity. Qualified to IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 standards, it delivers consistent 40 gigabit-per-second performance with minimal latency. The 25-meter length accommodates most enterprise rack configurations and inter-cabinet deployments without requiring additional amplification. **Build Quality & Safety:** Constructed with durable plastic jacketing and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material rated for riser installations (OFNR), the cable meets stringent fire safety requirements for vertical cable runs. Class 1 Laser certification combined with UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10) ensures safe operation in any environment. RoHS and ELV directive compliance reflects our commitment to environmental sustainability. **HPE Compatibility:** Direct replacement for OEM part numbers 670760-B28 and JL289A-20M, this cable integrates seamlessly with HPE ProLiant servers, switches, and storage systems. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or deploying new environments, compatibility is guaranteed. **Performance Advantages:** • Lower power consumption than copper alternatives • Immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) • Greater distance capability than standard fiber patch cables • Reduced latency for mission-critical applications • Hot-swappable design for minimal downtime **Applications:** Ideal for data centers, cloud computing facilities, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise storage networks. Perfect for switch-to-server, switch-to-storage, and server-to-server interconnects requiring maximum reliability. **Operational Support:** Each cable includes a 90-day limited warranty and ships from strategically located US warehouses in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC. Free standard shipping applies to qualifying orders. Custom brand programming is available for volume purchases.
