The JBX04626 1-meter HPE-compatible 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable represents a cost-effective, high-performance solution for modern data center connectivity requirements. As an active optical cable (AOC), this product combines the advantages of fiber optics with integrated electronics, eliminating the need for separate transceivers while maintaining superior signal integrity over extended distances. **Technical Specifications & Performance** Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with duplex configuration, this cable supports 25Gb/s data transmission rates compliant with IEEE 802.3by standards. The 1-meter length makes it ideal for intra-rack and short-distance data center applications where high bandwidth density is critical. Operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F) accommodates standard server room environments and most commercial installations. **Safety & Compliance** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing reduces toxic gas and smoke emissions in case of fire, meeting building codes for plenum and riser installations. Full RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and ELV directive compliance ensure environmentally responsible manufacturing. Class 1 laser certification and TUV/UL FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10) provide comprehensive safety assurance. **HPE Compatibility & Integration** Engineered to replace HPE OEM part number 844483-B21-1M, this cable integrates seamlessly with HPE ProLiant servers and networking equipment. SFP28 form factor ensures direct compatibility with standard HPE switch ports and server network interfaces without additional adapters or converters. **Practical Applications** Ideal for virtualization environments, cloud infrastructure deployments, storage area networks (SANs), and high-frequency trading platforms where low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity is essential. AOC technology eliminates signal degradation inherent in traditional copper cabling, delivering consistent 25Gb/s performance. **Custom Options & Warranty** Custom brand programming is available for OEM and reseller partnerships. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this cable provides reliable performance protection. Free standard shipping on orders over $99 makes it an economical choice for network upgrades and expansions. Manufactured in Vietnam and China with stringent quality controls.
