The JBX03684 2-meter 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable represents a premium solution for enterprise data center and high-performance network infrastructure requiring reliable 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Engineered specifically for Ruckus-compatible switching equipment, this cable delivers the performance and reliability mission-critical applications demand. Technical Specifications: This active optical cable features eight-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, specifically selected for its optimal balance of bandwidth capacity and transmission distance. The cable achieves IEEE 802.3ba-certified 40GBASE-AOC performance, enabling seamless integration with modern network architectures. At 2 meters in length, it provides the ideal balance between flexibility and cable management in dense rack environments. Construction & Safety: The LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) jacketing with OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) rating ensures compliance with stringent fire safety codes required in commercial buildings. The plastic jacketing protects the delicate fiber strands while maintaining a slim profile for easier cable routing. All components meet RoHS/ELV directives and carry Class 1 laser certification, TUV approval, and UL/FDA compliance per 21CFR 1040.10. Operational Benefits: Active optical technology eliminates the need for bulky transceiver modules at connection points, reducing power consumption and heat dissipation compared to passive alternatives. This design is particularly advantageous in power-constrained or densely populated server rooms. The cable operates reliably across the 0-70°C temperature range, accommodating both climate-controlled data centers and warm ambient environments. Application Use Cases: Ideal for data center core-to-aggregation layer connectivity, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise switch interconnects. The 2-meter length perfectly suits modular equipment installations, patch panel arrays, and structured cabling systems. Organizations implementing 40GB Ethernet networks benefit from reduced latency, improved reliability, and simplified deployment compared to copper alternatives. Compatibility & Warranty: Fully compatible with Ruckus networking equipment and replaces OEM part number E40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, ensuring customer satisfaction and confidence in this critical infrastructure investment. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring OEM-specific labeling or modifications. Shipping & Support: Eligible for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with rapid fulfillment from strategically located distribution centers in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC. This cable represents a cost-effective investment in network infrastructure reliability and performance.
