The JBX03689 30m Extreme Networks Compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable is engineered for demanding enterprise environments where performance and reliability are non-negotiable. This active optical cable (AOC) bridges the gap between copper and passive fiber solutions, offering superior performance characteristics at competitive pricing. **Technical Specifications:** Operating at 40 gigabits per second, this cable utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber core technology, supporting full-duplex transmission across a 30-meter span. The cable features 8 fiber strands configured within a robust plastic jacket rated as Riser (OFNR) for compliance with fire codes in building installations. Dimensions of 12x12x30 provide compact routing through cable management systems without compromising signal integrity. **Performance & Compatibility:** Qualified to IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 standards, this cable ensures seamless integration with Extreme Networks equipment. Direct compatibility with OEM part numbers 40G-AOC-QSFP30M, 10316-30M, and 40GB-F30-QSFP makes replacement straightforward without requiring equipment modifications. **Safety & Environmental Standards:** Comprehensive safety certifications include Class 1 Laser rating, UL/FDA approval (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV compliance. LSZH jacketing eliminates toxic fumes in case of fire, protecting personnel and equipment in mission-critical facilities. Full RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. **Operational Capabilities:** Designed for operation between 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), this cable maintains consistent performance across diverse data center and enterprise conditions. The active optical technology eliminates electromagnetic interference (EMI), ideal for environments with sensitive equipment. **Value Proposition:** With 90-day limited warranty coverage and custom brand programming available, organizations receive flexibility for their specific deployment requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, reducing total cost of ownership. **Ideal Applications:** Perfect for high-speed data center interconnects, storage area networks (SANs), server-to-switch connectivity, and enterprise backbone infrastructure. Network administrators benefit from simplified deployment, superior signal integrity, and future-proof 40GB technology alignment.
