The JBX04041 2-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents the cutting edge of short-range, high-speed data center connectivity solutions. Specifically engineered as a drop-in replacement for Cisco's QSFP-100G-AOC2M, this AOC delivers reliable 100GB Ethernet performance for mission-critical network applications. KEY FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS: This active optical cable utilizes 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber construction, optimized for distances up to 100 meters in short-range data center environments. The QSFP28 form factor provides industry-standard compatibility across leading switch and transceiver manufacturers. IEEE 802.3bm qualification ensures strict adherence to 100GBASE-SR4 performance standards, guaranteeing consistent, reliable data transmission. SAFETY & COMPLIANCE: The cable features fire-rated LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing rated for OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) applications, making it suitable for in-wall installations and plenum spaces. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 Laser compliance, UL/FDA approvals (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV certification. Full RoHS/ELV directive compliance (EU 2002/95/EC) demonstrates environmental responsibility. APPLICATIONS: Ideal for high-density data center deployments, server-to-switch backbone interconnects, and enterprise storage area networks (SANs) requiring guaranteed 100GB performance. The 2-meter length accommodates typical rack-scale distances in modern data centers. INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE: The cable operates reliably across 0-70°C temperature ranges. Its compact 12x12x2mm profile minimizes cable congestion in crowded equipment racks. Proper handling and connection to compatible QSFP28 ports ensures optimal performance and longevity. VALUE PROPOSITION: This Cisco-compatible solution offers significant cost savings versus proprietary alternatives without compromising performance or reliability. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 and domestic fulfillment from Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC locations ensure fast delivery. Custom branding options available for resellers and OEMs. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for business-critical deployments.
