The JBX04604 10-meter 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 Active Optical Cable represents the ideal solution for modern enterprise networking environments demanding high-speed, reliable data transmission. Engineered to provide full compatibility with Palo Alto Networks security appliances and switches, this cable delivers performance excellence for demanding applications. Technical Specifications: This active optical cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber construction, providing optimal performance for 25GB Ethernet transmission as qualified to IEEE 802.3by standards. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous bidirectional communication, essential for modern network architectures. With a 10-meter length, it accommodates typical data center spacing while maintaining signal quality across the entire transmission distance. Safety and Compliance: The JBX04604 meets stringent safety and environmental standards including RoHS/ELV compliance, UL/FDA certification per 21CFR 1040.10, and TUV approval. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacket ensures maximum safety in building environments, minimizing toxic emissions in case of fire while providing non-conductive protection for personnel and equipment. Performance and Reliability: Active optical cable technology eliminates many compatibility issues associated with passive solutions. The integrated active components ensure consistent 25GB performance over the full 10-meter distance, making it ideal for high-density server-to-switch connections, storage area networks, and backbone interconnections within data centers. Operating Conditions: Designed for standard data center environments, this cable operates reliably between 0-70°C (32-158°F), covering typical climate-controlled facility conditions. The robust plastic jacketing protects fiber strands from physical damage while maintaining flexibility for installation in various routing scenarios. Compatibility and Replacement: This cable directly replaces Palo Alto Networks OEM part number PAN-SFP28-AOC-7M and is compatible with Palo Alto Networks firewalls, switches, and network appliances. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring proprietary labeling or specific configurations. Value Proposition: At competitive pricing with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, the JBX04604 offers enterprise-grade performance without premium pricing. The 90-day limited warranty provides additional peace of mind for mission-critical deployments. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or deploying new network segments, this cable delivers the reliability and performance modern enterprises demand.
