The JBX04156 7-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents the pinnacle of modern high-speed networking technology for enterprise and data center environments. This Cisco-compatible solution delivers exceptional performance and reliability for organizations requiring robust 100GB connectivity. **Technical Excellence** Built to IEEE 802.3bm specifications and QSFP28 MSA standards, this active optical cable provides 100GB per second data transmission over distances up to 7 meters. The 8-strand OM3 50/125 multimode fiber configuration ensures optimal signal integrity and minimal attenuation, making it ideal for intra-data center connectivity where performance and reliability are non-negotiable. **Safety & Compliance** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR jacketing provides crucial fire safety benefits, reducing smoke emission and toxic gas release in confined spaces such as data center racks and cable trays. Comprehensive certifications including Class 1 Laser, TUV, and UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10 compliance demonstrate this cable's adherence to the highest industry standards. Full RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility without compromising performance. **Reliability & Compatibility** As a direct Cisco-compatible replacement for OEM part number QSFP-100G-AOC7M, this cable integrates seamlessly with existing Cisco infrastructure. The plastic jacketing with premium fiber strands offers durability in demanding environments while maintaining flexibility for installation. With an operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F), it performs consistently across diverse deployment scenarios. **Cost-Effective Solutions** Active optical cables eliminate the need for expensive signal boosters required by longer passive cables, reducing total cost of ownership. The 7-meter length provides optimal range for typical data center layouts—from top-of-rack to core switches—without unnecessary cable bulk. **Custom Availability** Custom brand programming options enable seamless integration with managed network environments, supporting asset tracking and inventory management requirements.
