The JBX04353 3-meter Active Optical Cable represents the pinnacle of high-speed fiber optic connectivity for data center and enterprise network infrastructure. This purpose-built 200GBASE-SR4 QSFP56 AOC is specifically designed as a direct replacement for Arista's A-Q200-Q200-3M part number, ensuring guaranteed compatibility and performance consistency. **Technical Architecture:** Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber architecture with eight individual strands, this cable delivers robust 200GB/s throughput while maintaining signal fidelity over its 3-meter length. The integrated active components provide signal conditioning and amplification, eliminating the need for external equipment and simplifying installation procedures. **Safety & Compliance:** The cable exceeds stringent industry standards including IEEE 802.3cd, QSFP56 Multi-Source Agreement, and CMIS specifications. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR-rated jacket meets demanding fire codes required in commercial installations. Class 1 Laser safety certification and FDA 21CFR 1040.10 compliance ensure personnel safety during deployment and maintenance. **Durability & Performance:** RoHS and ELV directive compliance guarantees environmental responsibility without compromising performance. Operating across 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable performs reliably in diverse data center conditions from cooled infrastructure rooms to ambient environments. The plastic jacketing with specialized fiber strand configuration provides excellent mechanical protection while maintaining flexibility for routing through cable trays and conduits. **Installation & Support:** Dimensions of 12x12x3 enable seamless integration into standard cable management systems. Available with custom brand programming options for enterprises requiring asset tracking and standardization. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. **Applications:** Ideal for high-density data center deployments, cloud infrastructure buildouts, and enterprise backbone connections where 200G migration is critical. Perfect for organizations standardizing on Arista switching platforms seeking OEM-equivalent performance at competitive pricing.
