The JBX03982 1-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 active optical cable represents an optimal solution for organizations requiring high-speed, cost-effective 100 gigabit networking infrastructure. This Cisco-compatible AOC (Active Optical Cable) combines advanced fiber optic technology with practical engineering to deliver exceptional performance in demanding environments. **Key Features & Specifications:** Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, this cable achieves 100GB data rates while maintaining compatibility with widely-deployed infrastructure. The 1-meter length makes it ideal for short-reach data center interconnects, switch-to-switch connections, and equipment-to-equipment communication. The 8-strand fiber configuration ensures reliable, parallel transmission with minimal latency. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacketing meets stringent safety standards including UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10 and TUV certification, making it suitable for plenum spaces and risers where halogenated materials are prohibited. **Compliance & Safety:** Fully RoHS/ELV compliant and qualified to IEEE 802.3bm standards, this cable meets international regulatory requirements. Class 1 Laser certification ensures safe operation in diverse networking environments. The product replaces OEM part number QSFP-100G-AOC1M, offering seamless compatibility with existing Cisco deployments. **Performance & Durability:** Operating reliably across 0-70°C temperature ranges, the cable maintains consistent performance in various data center climates. The robust plastic jacketing provides mechanical protection while the advanced fiber composition ensures signal integrity over the full 1-meter distance. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this cable is manufactured in Vietnam and China to stringent quality standards. **Ideal Applications:** Perfect for data center buildouts, high-frequency trading firms, cloud infrastructure providers, and enterprises modernizing their network backbone. The cost advantage over parallel single-mode cable solutions makes it economically attractive for short-reach, high-bandwidth requirements.
