The JBX04051 2-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 active optical cable represents a sophisticated solution for modern data center and enterprise networking applications requiring high-speed, reliable connectivity. This AOC integrates optical transceiver functionality directly into the cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate QSFP28 modules and simplifying network infrastructure deployment. Technical Specifications and Performance: Operating at 100GB speeds, this cable leverages OM3 50/125 multimode fiber technology qualified to IEEE 802.3bm standards. The 2-meter length provides optimal flexibility for rack-to-rack connectivity while maintaining signal integrity. With 8 fiber strands and advanced optical design, it achieves the performance demanded by modern enterprise environments. Safety and Compliance Features: The cable's LSZH (low-smoke, zero-halogen) Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing meets stringent fire safety requirements for commercial installations. Comprehensive certifications include RoHS/ELV compliance, UL/FDA approval per 21CFR 1040.10, TUV certification, and Class 1 laser safety rating. These certifications ensure the cable meets international safety and environmental standards. HPE Compatibility and OEM Replacement: Designed as a drop-in replacement for multiple HPE original equipment part numbers (Q9S71A-2M, JL276A-2M, 845410-B21-2M, 834972-B21-2M), this cable integrates seamlessly with HPE ProLiant servers, switches, and networking equipment. The QSFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with HPE's latest data center infrastructure. Reliability and Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and manufactured in Vietnam and China, the cable undergoes rigorous quality testing. Free standard shipping on orders over $99, with fulfillment from multiple U.S. distribution centers in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC, ensures quick delivery and availability. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for enterprise data centers, high-frequency trading environments, cloud computing infrastructure, and storage area networks requiring 100GB connectivity. The AOC design reduces power consumption compared to traditional transceiver-based solutions, supporting sustainability initiatives. Custom brand programming is available for OEM integration or volume deployments.
