The JBX03711 3m HPE Compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable represents the ideal solution for organizations seeking high-speed, reliable network connectivity in demanding data center and enterprise environments. Engineered with precision, this active optical cable delivers exceptional performance for 40GB Ethernet applications while maintaining compatibility with HPE networking infrastructure. **Key Technical Specifications:** This cable features eight strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber optimized for high-speed signal transmission. The active optical design eliminates the signal degradation issues common with passive copper alternatives, enabling longer reliable transmission distances. The QSFP+ form factor provides industry-standard connectivity for contemporary networking equipment, while the 3-meter length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections within typical data center layouts. **Safety & Compliance:** The LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen) OFNR (riser-rated) jacketing makes this cable suitable for commercial building installations where fire safety is paramount. Multiple certifications including Class 1 Laser, UL/FDA, TUV, and RoHS/ELV compliance ensure it meets rigorous international standards. The cable qualifies to IEEE 802.3ba specifications, guaranteeing interoperability with certified equipment. **Compatibility & Replacements:** Designed specifically for HPE environments, this cable replaces OEM part numbers 670760-B21, 808722-B21, and JL287A-3M, offering cost-effective alternatives to original equipment. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring OEM branding. **Performance & Reliability:** Operating across 0-70°C temperature range, this cable maintains consistent performance in various deployment scenarios. The robust plastic jacketing with fiber strands resists physical damage, while the active optical technology provides superior signal integrity compared to passive alternatives. A 90-day limited warranty provides additional peace of mind. **Cost-Effective Deployment:** With free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 from U.S. locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC), this cable offers excellent value for network upgrades and expansions.
