The JBX04179 100m Arista-compatible 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 Active Optical Cable represents cutting-edge fiber optic technology engineered for modern data center infrastructure. This premium solution combines advanced active optical cable design with proven multimode fiber technology to deliver exceptional 100GB networking performance across extended 100-meter distances. Product Overview: This active optical cable integrates laser transmitters and receivers directly into the QSFP28 connectors, eliminating signal degradation over long-distance runs. The sophisticated electronics within the cable automatically compensate for fiber characteristics, ensuring consistent, high-quality signal transmission at 100GBASE-AOC speeds. Technical Specifications: • Length: 100 meters • Data Rate: 100GB (100GBASE-AOC) • Fiber Type: OM4 50/125 multimode (8 strands) • Form Factor: QSFP28 MSA compliant • Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) - OFNR rated • Operating Temperature: 0-70°C (32-158°F) • Compliance: IEEE 802.3bm, SFF-8665, RoHS/ELV • Safety: Class 1 Laser, UL/FDA (21CFR 1040.10), TUV certified • Warranty: 90-day limited warranty Key Applications: Ideal for data center north-south traffic, campus backbone connectivity, and high-speed interconnects between Arista-based network equipment. The 100-meter reach makes it perfect for larger facilities where traditional copper solutions face limitations. Advantages Over Alternatives: Compared to 100GBASE-SR direct attach cables, this 100m AOC provides extended reach. Unlike traditional fiber patch cables requiring separate transceivers and equipment, this integrated solution reduces cost and complexity while improving reliability. The OM4 multimode fiber offers excellent cost-to-performance ratio versus single-mode options. Compatibility & Integration: Fully compatible with Arista 7050, 7300, 7500, and other QSFP28-equipped systems. Replaces OEM part number AOC-Q-Q-100G-100M. Custom brand programming available for organizations requiring proprietary labeling. Shipping & Support: Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with shipment available from Danville, CA or Beaufort, SC. RoHS compliance ensures environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence across global markets.
