The JBX04558 5-meter HPE Compatible 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable represents cutting-edge network connectivity technology, specifically engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and enterprise network infrastructures. **Product Overview** This active optical cable combines the benefits of fiber optics with the convenience of integrated electronics, eliminating the need for separate transceivers while delivering reliable 10GB connectivity. The 5-meter length makes it ideal for medium-distance connections within data centers, server rooms, and network closets without excessive cable slack. **Technical Specifications** Built with duplex OM3 50/125 multimode fiber strands, the cable achieves IEEE 802.3ae certified performance standards. The plastic jacketing provides mechanical protection while maintaining flexibility for installation in tight spaces. With an operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable performs reliably in diverse environmental conditions. **Plenum-Rated Construction** The OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Plenum) jacketing designation indicates fire-safe materials that meet building codes for installation through air plenums—critical for compliance in commercial buildings where cable runs pass through HVAC and ventilation spaces. **Compatibility & Replacement** As a direct HPE replacement for part number JL290A-5M, this cable seamlessly integrates with existing HPE infrastructure and SFP+ port equipment. Its SFP+ form factor ensures broad compatibility across enterprise-grade network switches and adapters. **Safety & Compliance** Extensive certifications including Class 1 Laser, UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10, TUV, and RoHS/ELV compliance ensure the cable meets international safety standards and environmental regulations. These certifications provide peace of mind for compliance-sensitive organizations. **Applications** Ideal for server interconnections, storage area network (SAN) implementations, and campus network extensions. The active optical technology eliminates signal degradation over distance, making it superior to copper alternatives for longer runs. **Warranty & Support** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Free standard shipping on orders over $99, with convenient shipping locations in California and South Carolina ensuring rapid delivery. **Maintenance** Active optical cables require minimal maintenance. Keep connector ends clean and protected when not in use, and avoid bending excessively near connectors to preserve optimal performance.
