The JBX03816 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents the optimal choice for organizations requiring high-bandwidth, short-reach optical interconnectivity in modern data center environments. This 2-meter cable is engineered to deliver 100GB/s throughput while maintaining compatibility with NVIDIA Mellanox infrastructure. **Technical Specifications:** This active optical cable features a breakout architecture with one QSFP28 connector splitting into two QSFP28 ports, enabling flexible network topology configurations. The 8-strand fiber construction utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, specifically selected for optimal performance in SR4 (Short Range 4-lane) applications. Operating across the 850nm wavelength range, this cable delivers signal integrity over 2-meter distances typical in rack-to-rack or switch-to-server deployments. **Performance & Compliance:** Qualified to IEEE 802.3bm specifications and QSFP28 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards, the JBX03816 undergoes rigorous testing to ensure reliability. Class 1 Laser certification (LN #50 7/2001) combined with TUV, UL, and FDA 21CFR 1040.10 approvals guarantee safety in professional environments. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacketing meets fire code requirements for in-building deployment. **Data Center Applications:** Ideal for hyperscale data centers, enterprise networking environments, and high-performance computing clusters. The cable's compact form factor (12x12x2 dimensions) integrates seamlessly into dense server deployments. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensure environmental responsibility. **Reliability & Support:** Every cable ships with a 90-day limited warranty. Custom brand programming is available for enterprise customers requiring white-label solutions. The cable is manufactured in Vietnam and China to ISO standards, with distribution from Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC locations ensuring rapid domestic delivery. **Installation Considerations:** Operate within 0-70°C temperature parameters for optimal fiber performance. The plastic jacketing with integrated fiber strands provides durability while maintaining optical signal quality. Proper cable management prevents excessive bending and ensures long-term performance. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 applies to this high-value networking component, making it an economical choice for bulk data center upgrades.
