The JBX04462 20m Arista-compatible 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ active optical cable represents a cost-effective, high-performance solution for modern data centers and enterprise networks requiring high-speed optical connectivity. This sophisticated active optical cable (AOC) combines integrated optical components with standard SFP+ form factor connectors, eliminating the need for separate transceivers while delivering robust 10 gigabit per second data transmission capabilities. Construction and Materials: The cable features premium OM3 50/125 multimode fiber at its core, housed within a protective plastic jacket with plenum-rated (OFNP) flame retardant properties. The duplex fiber strand configuration enables simultaneous bidirectional communication, essential for full-duplex network operations. At 20 meters in length, this cable bridges moderate distances effectively within data center rack configurations and building interconnects. Compatibility and Standards: Fully Arista-compatible, this cable directly replaces OEM part number AOC-S-S-10G-20M, ensuring seamless integration into existing Arista infrastructure. It qualifies to IEEE 802.3ae specifications and adheres to SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 standards, guaranteeing interoperability with standard SFP+ interfaces across compatible equipment. Compliance and Safety: Comprehensive safety certifications including Class 1 Laser, UL, TUV, and FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10) demonstrate rigorous testing and adherence to international safety standards. RoHS and ELV compliance ensures environmentally responsible manufacturing aligned with EU Directive 2002/95/EC. Performance Specifications: Operating reliably from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), this cable maintains consistent performance across diverse environmental conditions typical in data centers. The 10GB data rate provides ample bandwidth for demanding applications including server clustering, storage area networks, and high-traffic interconnects. Value Proposition: Free standard shipping on orders over $99 and a 90-day limited warranty provide excellent value. Custom brand programming availability offers flexibility for enterprise deployments requiring vendor-specific configurations.
