The JBX04550 5-meter Brocade-compatible 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ active optical cable represents the pinnacle of high-speed network connectivity solutions. This advanced active optical cable technology eliminates the limitations of traditional copper-based connections by leveraging premium fiber optic transmission, delivering consistent 10GB throughput across the entire 5-meter distance without signal degradation. Key Features & Specifications: This cable features duplex OM2 50/125 multimode fiber strands engineered to IEEE 802.3ae standards and SFF-8431/SFF-8472 compliance. The plenum-rated (OFNP) plastic jacketing ensures safe operation in plenum spaces, critical for HVAC-adjacent installations in modern data centers and office buildings. Operating across a wide temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable maintains performance consistency in diverse environmental conditions. Technical Advantages: Active optical cable (AOC) technology provides superior performance compared to passive alternatives, incorporating integrated electronics that optimize signal integrity over longer distances. The OM2 multimode fiber specification balances cost-effectiveness with performance reliability, making this solution economical for enterprise deployments without sacrificing speed or dependability. Compliance & Safety: Fully RoHS and ELV compliant, meeting EU directive 2002/95/EC requirements. Multiple certifications including Class 1 Laser, UL/FDA (21CFR 1040.10), and TUV validation ensure safety for personnel and equipment. The cable directly replaces OEM part number 10GE-SFPP-AOC-0501, simplifying procurement and inventory management. Applications: Ideal for high-performance computing clusters, data center switch interconnections, storage area network (SAN) implementations, and enterprise network backbone infrastructure. The Brocade compatibility makes this cable particularly valuable for organizations with existing Brocade switching infrastructure seeking cost-effective capacity upgrades. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Shipped directly from convenient US locations in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC, ensuring rapid delivery and local support.
