The JBX04523 3-meter HPE-compatible 10GBASE-AOC active optical cable represents a cutting-edge solution for organizations requiring high-speed, reliable network connectivity in enterprise environments. This active optical cable (AOC) technology eliminates the distance limitations of traditional copper SFP+ cables, providing superior performance for modern data center and networking infrastructure. **Key Technical Specifications:** This cable features a duplex multimode fiber design with OM3 50/125 core configuration, enabling consistent 10GB data transmission rates. The 3-meter length provides optimal flexibility for equipment interconnection while maintaining signal integrity. Operating across a temperature range of 0-70°C, the cable remains functional in diverse environmental conditions, from climate-controlled data centers to equipment rooms with variable temperatures. **Advanced Construction & Safety:** The plenum-rated OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Plenum) fiber jacketing ensures compliance with building codes when installed in air return spaces and plenums. This safety-critical feature prevents hazardous smoke and toxic gas generation in case of fire. The cable carries multiple safety certifications including Class 1 Laser designation, TUV, UL/FDA, and 21CFR 1040.10 compliance, assuring users of rigorous quality standards. **Regulatory Compliance & Sustainability:** Full RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and ELV (End of Life Vehicles) compliance reflects the cable's environmentally responsible design. Manufactured in Vietnam and China to exacting standards, this cable meets IEEE 802.3ae specifications and industry standards including SFF-8431 and SFF-8472. **Compatibility & Integration:** As a direct replacement for HPE part number JL290A-3M, this cable integrates seamlessly into existing HPE network infrastructure. The SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with standard network equipment ports without requiring adapters or modifications. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, the cable provides peace of mind for critical network installations. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with shipment from California or South Carolina locations, ensures rapid deployment. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring proprietary marking or identification. Whether upgrading data center connectivity, expanding network capacity, or replacing aging infrastructure, the JBX04523 delivers the performance, reliability, and compliance standards demanded by modern enterprise networking environments.
