The JBX04516 3m Cisco Compatible 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable represents a critical infrastructure component for modern high-speed networking environments. This active optical cable (AOC) combines the benefits of fiber optics with the ease of deployment, eliminating the need for external transponders while delivering exceptional performance. **Technical Specifications:** Built with OM3 50/125 multimode fiber and dual-strand (duplex) configuration, the JBX04516 supports 10GB data rates across a 3-meter span. The SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with existing Cisco network equipment, directly replacing OEM part number SFP-10G-AOC3M. Dimensions of 12x12x3 inches provide compact integration into rack-mounted systems. **Safety & Compliance:** This cable meets stringent industry standards including IEEE 802.3ae, SFF-8431, and SFF-8472 specifications. Class 1 laser certification, UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV approval ensure safe operation in professional environments. The plenum-rated (OFNP) jacketing exceeds building codes for air-return spaces, reducing fire and smoke hazards. **Performance & Reliability:** Operating across temperatures from 0-70°C (32-158°F), the cable maintains signal integrity in diverse environments. RoHS/ELV compliance and superior shielding protect against electromagnetic interference, ensuring consistent 10GB connectivity. **Applications:** Ideal for data centers, server rooms, enterprise networks, and telecommunications facilities requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency connections. The 3-meter length accommodates standard rack-to-rack deployments. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty with custom brand programming available. Ships from multiple U.S. locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
