The JBX04273 5-meter HPE P26659-B22 Compatible InfiniBand HDR QSFP56 Active Optical Cable represents a cost-effective, high-performance solution for data center operators seeking reliable interconnectivity without compromising on speed or safety. **Product Overview:** This breakout active optical cable (AOC) connects standard QSFP56 interfaces to dual QSFP56 ports, facilitating flexible topology configurations in demanding network environments. The 5-meter length provides optimal reach for intra-rack and cross-rack deployments while maintaining pristine signal integrity. **Technical Specifications:** Operating at 200GB per second data rates, the cable utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber across 8 strands, delivering excellent performance for medium-distance applications. The active optical design eliminates traditional copper limitations while reducing power consumption and heat generation compared to passive alternatives. **Safety & Compliance:** Extensive certifications ensure deployment confidence: RoHS/ELV directive compliance, UL/FDA approval under 21CFR 1040.10, Class 1 Laser certification, and TUV validation. The LSZH OFNR jacketing meets fire code requirements and reduces toxic smoke emissions in confined spaces, crucial for occupied data center environments. **Compatibility & Integration:** Specifically engineered for HPE systems, this cable directly replaces OEM part P26659-B22. It meets IEEE 802.3cd standards and QSFP56 MSA specifications, ensuring seamless integration with existing InfiniBand HDR infrastructure. **Temperature Performance:** Reliable operation across 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F) ensures consistent performance in varying data center climates without thermal throttling. **Enterprise Ready:** Comprehensive 90-day limited warranty, custom brand programming capabilities, and dual warehouse availability (California and South Carolina) support rapid deployment. Free standard shipping on qualifying orders reduces total cost of ownership for network infrastructure upgrades. **Ideal Applications:** Perfect for high-performance computing clusters, storage area networks (SANs), InfiniBand fabrics, and enterprise data center modernization projects requiring bandwidth-intensive interconnectivity.
