The JBX04009 20-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents cutting-edge connectivity technology designed specifically for HPE Networking environments. This premium-grade cable combines advanced optical engineering with robust construction to deliver exceptional performance in demanding data center applications. **Technical Specifications:** This AOC features 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, engineered to support 100GB Ethernet transmission according to IEEE 802.3bm standards. The cable operates reliably across a wide temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), making it suitable for various installation environments. With dimensions of 12x12x20 (in applicable measurements), the compact profile facilitates easy routing through cable management systems. **Compatibility & Reliability:** Directly compatible with HPE Networking systems, this cable replaces OEM part numbers R0Z28A-20M and R9F80A-20M. The 20-meter length provides optimal reach for typical data center spacing while maintaining signal integrity without amplification. The multimode OM3 fiber core ensures consistent performance across longer distances compared to standard patch cables. **Safety & Compliance:** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing with OFNR (Riser Rated) certification ensures compliance with building safety codes and environmental regulations. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 Laser, TUV, UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10, and RoHS/ELV directives, guaranteeing safety in professional installations. The plastic jacketing protects fiber strands while maintaining flexibility for routing. **Applications:** Ideal for high-speed data center interconnects, server-to-switch connections, storage area networks (SANs), and backup systems. The 100GB capability supports bandwidth-intensive applications including cloud infrastructure, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing environments. **Advantages Over Alternatives:** • Active optical cable eliminates dispersion issues associated with long multimode connections • Pre-terminated design eliminates field termination complexity • Superior reliability compared to copper alternatives at extended distances • Future-proof 100GB technology investment • Reduced latency and electromagnetic interference **Support & Warranty:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Custom brand programming available for enterprise customers. Ships from multiple distribution centers (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders over $99.
