The JBX04177 7-meter 100GBASE-SR4 QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents enterprise-grade networking connectivity engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and high-speed network infrastructure. Specifically engineered for Palo Alto Networks compatibility, this AOC cable directly replaces OEM part number PAN-QSFP28-AOC-7M, ensuring seamless integration with existing security appliance deployments. **Core Technology & Performance** This active optical cable leverages OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with 8 dedicated strands, delivering consistent 100GB per second data transmission. The AOC design eliminates the need for external transponders, reducing power consumption, heat generation, and deployment complexity. IEEE 802.3bm qualified construction ensures full interoperability with QSFP28 MSA specifications and SFF-8665 standards. **Construction & Safety** The cable features LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) plastic jacketing rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser), making it suitable for vertical runs and plenum environments while minimizing toxic smoke and halogen emissions during fire events. Comprehensive safety certifications include Class 1 Laser compliance, UL/FDA (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV approval. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmental responsibility. **Operational Specifications** Designed for reliable operation across 0-70°C temperature ranges, supporting both hot and cold data center environments. The compact 12x12x7mm form factor fits high-density interconnect scenarios. All components are manufactured in Vietnam and China using quality-controlled processes. **Enterprise Integration** Perfect for Palo Alto Networks security appliances, firewalls, and network infrastructure requiring high-speed, low-latency connectivity. The 7-meter length accommodates mid-range data center rack configurations. Custom brand programming is available for OEM applications. **Warranty & Support** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and free standard shipping on orders over $99. Ships from multiple US locations including Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC for rapid deployment. Custom availability options support specialized enterprise requirements.
