The JBX03694 30-meter 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ active optical cable represents an essential infrastructure component for modern data centers seeking high-speed, reliable connectivity solutions. This Intel-compatible cable is specifically engineered to support 40 Gigabit Ethernet communications, meeting IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 specifications for seamless integration with compatible network equipment. Constructed with 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, this active optical cable delivers exceptional performance advantages over traditional copper alternatives. The multimode fiber core minimizes modal dispersion while supporting 40GB transmission rates across the full 30-meter length, making it ideal for server-to-switch connections, storage area network (SAN) interconnects, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. The cable's OFNR (Riser Rated) jacketing classification ensures compliance with fire safety standards required for installation in vertical cable runs and plenum spaces within commercial buildings. Combined with RoHS and ELV directive adherence, this product meets international environmental and health standards, demonstrating commitment to sustainable technology practices. Safety certifications including Class 1 Laser, TUV, and UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10 compliance guarantee proper handling and installation safety. Operating across a 0-70°C temperature range accommodates typical data center environments while maintaining signal integrity and reliability. Key advantages include: significantly reduced heat generation compared to copper cables, minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI), superior signal quality over extended runs, and simplified cable management due to slim profile design. The AOC technology eliminates transceivers on both ends, reducing total system cost while improving reliability. This cable serves enterprises, service providers, and large organizations requiring dependable high-speed infrastructure. Whether upgrading existing networks or deploying new data center architecture, the JBX03694 provides future-proof connectivity supporting demanding bandwidth requirements. With a 90-day limited warranty and availability for custom brand programming, this solution offers both technical excellence and procurement flexibility.
