The JBX04302 15-meter 200GBASE-SR4 QSFP56 Active Optical Cable represents the optimal solution for enterprise customers seeking high-speed, reliable interconnectivity within Arista-based network ecosystems. As data center demands escalate, this AOC technology eliminates traditional copper cable limitations while delivering exceptional performance metrics. TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE This cable leverages OM3 50/125 multimode fiber architecture, specifically designed for 200GB transmission protocols defined by IEEE 802.3cd standards. The QSFP56 form factor ensures compatibility with next-generation Arista switching platforms, while the 15-meter length accommodates rack-to-rack and building-level connectivity requirements without signal attenuation. SAFETY & COMPLIANCE Comprehensive safety certifications include Class 1 Laser designation, TUV, UL/FDA (21CFR 1040.10), and full RoHS/ELV compliance under EU Directive 2002/95/EC. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR-rated jacketing provides fire safety suitable for plenum-rated applications, critical for modern data center installations. DEPLOYMENT ADVANTAGES The active optical design eliminates complex signal conditioning, reducing power consumption and heat generation compared to alternative solutions. Eight-strand fiber construction with reinforced plastic jacketing ensures longevity in high-traffic installation environments.
