The JBX03730 50m Dell Compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable represents a sophisticated solution for demanding high-speed networking environments. This active optical cable (AOC) eliminates the limitations associated with traditional copper cabling by leveraging fiber optic technology to deliver exceptional performance over extended distances. **Key Features & Specifications:** This cable utilizes 8 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, delivering 40GB per second data rates across 50 meters without signal degradation. The QSFP+ form factor provides industry-standard compatibility with modern switches, routers, and network appliances. LSZH plastic jacketing ensures fire safety compliance while maintaining flexibility for installation in tight spaces and cable trays. **Performance & Reliability:** IEEE 802.3ba qualification guarantees compatibility with enterprise-grade equipment from Dell and other manufacturers. The cable operates across a wide temperature range (0-70°C / 32-158°F), making it suitable for diverse data center environments from cooled facilities to warm equipment rooms. Class 1 laser safety certifications and comprehensive regulatory compliance (RoHS/ELV, TÜV, UL/FDA) provide peace of mind for enterprise deployments. **Application & Compatibility:** Perfect for data center interconnects, server-to-switch connections, and high-speed storage networks, this cable replaces OEM part numbers 470-AABV and 470-AAZN. It's engineered specifically for Dell infrastructure but provides universal QSFP+ compatibility. The active design requires no external power sources, simplifying deployment compared to passive cables. **Value Proposition:** With free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 and a 90-day limited warranty, this cable offers cost-effective high-speed connectivity. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring standardized network identification. Ships from strategic U.S. locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) ensuring rapid delivery and minimal latency for urgent deployments.
