The JBX04163 7-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents the pinnacle of high-speed network connectivity solutions for enterprise environments. Purpose-built for Fortinet compatibility, this advanced cable directly replaces OEM part number FN-TRAN-QSFP28-7M, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Technical Excellence: This active optical cable utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with 8 strands, delivering consistent 100GB data transmission rates compliant with IEEE 802.3bm and QSFP28 MSA standards. The compact form factor measures 12x12x7 inches, optimizing rack space while maintaining superior signal integrity across the full 7-meter transmission distance. Safety and Compliance: Engineered with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing rated for OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) applications, this cable exceeds industry safety requirements. Certifications include Class 1 Laser safety, TUV validation, UL/FDA compliance per 21CFR 1040.10, and full RoHS/ELV directive adherence (EU 2002/95/EC). These credentials ensure deployment in regulated environments and compliance-sensitive facilities. Reliability and Support: Operating across extended temperature ranges (0-70°C / 32-158°F), the cable maintains performance consistency in diverse data center conditions. The included 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while custom brand programming options allow integration with proprietary network management systems. Applications and Benefits: Ideal for hyperscale data centers, enterprise campuses, and high-density switching environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects. The active optical architecture eliminates signal degradation associated with traditional copper cabling, reducing power consumption and heat generation. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 simplifies procurement processes. Manufactured in Vietnam and China with rigorous quality control, this cable represents outstanding value for organizations prioritizing reliability, compliance, and performance in their network infrastructure investments.
