The JBX03871 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents a premium networking solution for enterprise and data center environments requiring high-bandwidth connectivity. This 25-meter breakout cable seamlessly integrates with Extreme Networks infrastructure, offering direct compatibility with systems using the 10444-25M component specification. Technical Excellence: Designed to IEEE 802.3bm standards, this cable delivers consistent 100Gb/s performance through its advanced OM3 multimode fiber configuration. The 50/125 micrometer core provides optimal signal transmission while maintaining backward compatibility with existing OM3 installations. Eight individual fiber strands ensure redundancy and reliability for mission-critical applications. Construction & Safety: The cable features LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing rated OFNR (Riser), making it compliant with building codes for vertical cable runs. Comprehensive safety certifications include Class 1 Laser, TUV, UL/FDA, and LN #50 7/2001 approvals. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmentally responsible manufacturing. Performance & Reliability: Operating across 0-70°C temperature ranges, this AOC maintains performance in diverse data center environments. The breakout design enables flexible port configurations, allowing a single QSFP28 connection to split into four SFP28 connections—ideal for equipment transitions and network expansion. Value Proposition: As a third-party alternative to genuine Extreme Networks components, this cable delivers equivalent performance at competitive pricing. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence, while free standard shipping on orders over $99 reduces acquisition costs. Manufactured in Vietnam and China with rigorous quality standards, this cable represents smart infrastructure investment for budget-conscious IT professionals. Ideal Applications: Data center interconnects, enterprise switching environments, server connectivity, and network modernization projects benefit from this reliable, standards-compliant solution.
