The JBX04040 2-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents cutting-edge fiber optic connectivity technology designed for modern data center and enterprise network environments. As an Arista-compatible solution, this AOC cable delivers exceptional performance for organizations requiring high-speed, reliable network infrastructure. Key Features and Specifications: This premium active optical cable integrates dual optical transceivers directly into the connector assembly, eliminating the need for separate QSFP28 transceiver modules. The cable utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with 8 individual fiber strands, supporting 100GB data rates through the 100GBASE-SR4 protocol. With a compact 2-meter length, it's ideal for short-to-medium reach interconnects within data center racks and cabinets. Construction and Safety Compliance: The JBX04040 features low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacketing rated as OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser), meeting stringent building codes and fire safety regulations. Its plastic jacketing with fiber strand construction ensures durability and flexibility. The cable holds multiple safety certifications including UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10, TUV, and Class 1 Laser certification, with full RoHS/ELV compliance. Technical Performance: Qualified to IEEE 802.3bm specifications and QSFP28 MSA standards, this cable ensures reliable 100GB transmission with minimal latency. Operating temperature range spans 0-70°C (32-158°F), accommodating various deployment environments. The integrated transceiver design reduces power consumption and heat dissipation compared to traditional separate module solutions. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for data center infrastructure, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise campus networks requiring secure, high-bandwidth connectivity. The 2-meter length suits switch-to-server and switch-to-storage interconnections within equipment racks. Compatibility and Support: Direct replacement for Arista AOC-Q-Q-100G-2M. Custom brand programming is available for specific deployment requirements. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
