The JBX04153 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents enterprise-grade connectivity for modern data centers and high-performance networks. Specifically engineered as a Palo Alto Networks PAN-QSFP28-AOC-5M compatible solution, this 5-meter cable delivers the speed, reliability, and safety that mission-critical infrastructure demands. **Technical Specifications:** This active optical cable features 8 strands of OM3 50/125 multimode fiber optimized for 100GB transmission. The QSFP28 form factor ensures seamless integration with compatible transceivers and network equipment. IEEE 802.3bm and QSFP28 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) certification guarantees interoperability and performance standards. The cable operates reliably across 0-70°C temperature ranges, suitable for standard data center and rack environments. **Safety & Compliance:** Manufactured to exceed industry safety requirements, the JBX04153 features Class 1 Laser safety certification (LN #50 7/2001), TUV certification, and UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10). The fire-rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacketing with plastic housing meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) and ELV standards, making it suitable for plenum and riser applications. **Performance & Reliability:** Active optical cable technology eliminates signal degradation issues common with passive copper alternatives, delivering consistent 100GB performance across the full 5-meter distance. The low-loss multimode fiber core minimizes attenuation while reducing heat generation compared to electrical solutions. **Deployment & Support:** Designed for plug-and-play installation, the cable integrates seamlessly into existing Palo Alto Networks infrastructure. The compact QSFP28 connectors enable high-density port configurations in enterprise switches and network appliances. A 90-day limited warranty provides purchase confidence. Custom brand programming is available for bulk OEM orders. **Applications:** Ideal for data center interconnects, high-speed network switching, storage area networks, and enterprise backbone connections requiring short-reach 100GB connectivity. The 5-meter length provides optimal flexibility for rack-to-rack and cabinet-to-cabinet deployments without excessive cable runs. With free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 and availability from multiple U.S. distribution centers, the JBX04153 offers rapid deployment capabilities for growing network infrastructure.
