The JBX04489 2m Brocade-compatible 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ active optical cable represents a high-performance solution for modern enterprise networking infrastructures. Specifically engineered to replace OEM part number 10GE-SFPP-AOC-0201, this cable delivers guaranteed compatibility with Brocade networking equipment while meeting stringent industry standards. Technical Excellence: This active optical cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber construction, enabling 10GB data transmission over the 2-meter span with minimal signal degradation. The dual fiber strands (duplex configuration) support full-duplex communication, essential for bidirectional 10GBASE-AOC applications. IEEE 802.3ae certification confirms compliance with 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards, while SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 specifications ensure interoperability with industry-standard SFP+ transceivers. Safety & Compliance: The plenum-rated OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Plenum) jacketing exceeds building and fire codes, making this cable suitable for installation in ceiling plenums and other air handling spaces. Class 1 laser certification, UL/FDA compliance per 21 CFR 1040.10, and TUV certification demonstrate rigorous safety testing. Full RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. Performance Characteristics: Operating across 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable maintains performance in diverse data center environments. The compact 12x12x2mm dimensions integrate seamlessly into dense switch configurations without cable management issues. Active optical technology eliminates copper signal loss, delivering superior performance over longer distances compared to traditional copper AOC alternatives. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for enterprise data centers, high-density server environments, and telecommunications facilities requiring 10GB interconnectivity. Particularly valuable for Brocade switch deployments, SANs, and applications demanding low-power, low-heat optical connectivity. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty with custom brand programming available for OEM requirements. Ships from US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring rapid deployment. Maintenance Considerations: Keep fiber optic connectors clean and protected when not in use. Store in dust-free environments and avoid excessive bending near connector terminations to maintain signal integrity.
