The JBX03917 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 active optical cable is a high-performance networking solution designed specifically for enterprise and data center applications requiring ultra-high-speed connectivity. This 7-meter breakout AOC provides a direct HPE 845420-B21 replacement option, ensuring seamless integration with existing HPE infrastructure. **Key Features and Specifications:** This cable delivers 100Gbps data transmission using QSFP28 form factor technology with 100GBASE-SR4 protocol support. The 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber core provides exceptional signal clarity and minimal signal loss over short-to-medium distances. The LSZH jacketing ensures fire safety compliance and reduced smoke/halogen emissions—critical for enclosed data center environments. **Compliance and Certifications:** Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bm and QSFP28 MSA specifications, this cable meets RoHS/ELV directives and carries Class 1 Laser certification. Safety approvals include UL, FDA (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV certification, ensuring deployment in regulated environments. **Performance and Durability:** Operating reliably between 0-70°C (32-158°F), the cable accommodates various data center climates. The plastic jacketing with reinforced fiber protection withstands typical infrastructure handling while the riser-rated (OFNR) construction prevents flame spread in vertical cable runs. **Deployment Benefits:** Ideal for connecting high-performance servers, switches, and storage systems within data centers or enterprise networks. The breakout design allows one 100G connection to split into four 25G SFP28 connections, enabling flexible network architecture. Custom brand programming availability accommodates white-label and OEM requirements. **Support and Warranty:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty with technical support. Ships from strategically located U.S. facilities (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, providing cost-effective solutions for bulk procurement.
