The JBX03702 3-meter Arista-compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ active optical cable represents a premium solution for modern high-speed networking infrastructure. Designed specifically for data centers, cloud computing environments, and enterprise networks requiring ultra-reliable 40GB connectivity, this cable delivers exceptional performance and durability. **Technical Specifications:** This active optical cable features 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with a plastic jacket designed for professional installations. The 3-meter length provides optimal flexibility for rack-to-rack connections without signal degradation. The QSFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with contemporary networking equipment, while the 40GBASE-AOC standard guarantees IEEE 802.3ba compliance for seamless integration. **Safety & Compliance:** The LSZH OFNR jacketing combines fire safety with optical fiber integrity, making this cable suitable for plenum and riser applications in commercial buildings. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 laser safety, UL/FDA approval per 21CFR 1040.10, TUV verification, and full RoHS/ELV directive compliance (EU 2002/95/EC). These certifications ensure safe operation and environmental responsibility. **Performance & Reliability:** Operating across temperatures from 0 to 70°C, this cable maintains consistent 40GB transmission speeds even in demanding conditions. The multimode OM3 fiber provides excellent bandwidth capabilities while supporting longer distances than single-mode alternatives, making it ideal for larger data center footprints. Active optical technology eliminates electromagnetic interference concerns common with copper cables. **Compatibility & Convenience:** Direct Arista compatibility ensures plug-and-play installation with your existing network infrastructure. This cable replaces OEM part AOC-Q-Q-40G-3M, offering cost-effective upgrades or replacements. Free standard shipping on orders over $99 and a 90-day limited warranty provide peace of mind. **Applications:** Ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) switch interconnections, server-to-switch connections, and storage area network (SAN) implementations. The 3-meter length is perfect for typical data center distances while maintaining signal integrity.
