The JBX04059 2-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents cutting-edge networking infrastructure for modern data centers and enterprise environments. Built with premium OM3 50/125 multimode fiber, this AOC delivers exceptional performance for bandwidth-intensive applications requiring 100GB Ethernet connectivity. **Technical Specifications:** This QSFP28 form factor cable features 8 fiber strands optimized for 100GBASE-SR4 transmission standards. The OM3 multimode fiber core supports distances up to 300 meters at full 100GB/s speeds, making it suitable for medium-range connectivity within data center environments. The cable's low-loss design minimizes signal degradation and power consumption compared to electrical alternatives. **Compatibility & Standards:** Fully compatible with Palo Alto Networks equipment (OEM Part Number PAN-QSFP28-AOC-2M), this cable is qualified to IEEE 802.3bm specifications and meets QSFP28 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards. The cable undergoes rigorous compliance testing for Class 1 Laser safety, UL/FDA certification (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV approval. **Fire Safety & Environmental:** The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser Rated) jacketing meets building codes for installation in vertical runs without conduit. Plastic jacketing with fiber strands ensures flexibility and durability. Full RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and ELV (End of Life Vehicle Directive) compliance guarantees environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence. **Performance Advantages:** Active optical cables offer significant advantages over passive fiber: built-in signal amplification ensures reliable performance over the full 2-meter span, automatic equalization adapts to fiber characteristics, and integrated optics reduce power consumption. Operating reliably between 0-70°C, this cable handles demanding data center environments. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this product ships from US locations (Danville, CA or Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom brand programming is available for OEM and large-scale deployments. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or building new high-speed networks, the JBX04059 provides enterprise-grade performance with proven Palo Alto Networks compatibility.
