The JBX04019 20-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents a sophisticated solution for high-speed network connectivity in modern data center and enterprise environments. As a Palo Alto Networks-compatible component, this AOC seamlessly integrates into existing security appliance infrastructure without requiring firmware modifications or compatibility workarounds. Technical Excellence and Performance: This active optical cable leverages 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber to deliver uncompromised 100GB data rates in compliance with IEEE 802.3bm standards. The QSFP28 form factor provides dense port utilization while maintaining signal integrity across the full 20-meter reach. Built with advanced transceiver technology, the cable actively compensates for signal degradation, enabling reliable performance in demanding network environments. Construction and Safety: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR-rated plastic jacketing meets critical safety requirements for plenum and riser installations. This materials selection reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, protecting equipment and occupants. The robust 12mm x 12mm x 20m construction withstands typical installation stresses while maintaining optical performance. Compliance and Certification: Full RoHS and EU Directive 2002/95/EC compliance eliminates hazardous substances. Class 1 Laser certification ensures safe fiber optic operation. UL, FDA, and TUV certifications validate manufacturing quality and safety standards. IEEE 802.3bm and QSFP28 MSA qualification guarantees interoperability with certified equipment. Applications: Ideal for connecting Palo Alto Networks firewalls, threat prevention systems, and network security appliances. Suitable for enterprise data centers, carrier networks, and service provider environments requiring enterprise-grade security connectivity. Warranty and Support: 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product reliability. Ships from US-based locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) for fast delivery. Custom brand programming available for OEM integration projects. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 reduces acquisition costs.
