The JBX03703 3-meter 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable represents a premium interconnect solution for modern data center and enterprise networking infrastructure. Engineered specifically for Brocade-compatible systems, this active optical cable delivers exceptional performance characteristics essential for high-speed network deployments. **Technical Specifications & Performance:** This cable features 8 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode optical fiber engineered to transmit data at 40GB speeds over 3-meter distances. The cable meets IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 standards, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard QSFP+ interfaces. With an operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable performs reliably across diverse environmental conditions typical of data centers and network closets. **Safety & Compliance:** Manufactured to the highest standards, this cable features LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR-rated plastic jacketing, which dramatically reduces smoke and halogenic emissions in case of fire—critical for indoor installations. It holds multiple safety certifications including Class 1 Laser, TUV, and UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10 compliance, demonstrating its adherence to rigorous industry safety protocols. Full RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmentally responsible manufacturing. **Compatibility & Convenience:** This cable directly replaces Brocade OEM part number 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0301, making it an ideal alternative for network upgrades and expansions. The QSFP+ form factor optimizes port density while maintaining compact dimensions (12x12x3), enabling efficient cable management in high-density network installations. **Value & Support:** Ships from US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders over $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this cable provides cost-effective, reliable performance for enterprises seeking OEM-quality alternatives. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring personalized configurations. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or deploying new network segments, the JBX03703 delivers proven performance, safety, and value for demanding networking environments.
