The JBX04628 1-meter 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable represents a cutting-edge solution for high-density, high-speed network connectivity in modern enterprise environments. As an HPE-compatible component, this active optical cable delivers the performance and reliability that mission-critical applications demand. **Technical Specifications:** This cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with duplex fiber strands optimized for 25Gb/s data transmission. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) plastic jacketing is rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser), meeting stringent building codes and fire safety requirements. With a compact 1-meter length, it's ideal for short-reach interconnects in data centers, server rooms, and network closets. **Performance & Compatibility:** Qualified to IEEE 802.3by specifications and SFF standards (SFF-8402, SFF-8472), this AOC cable delivers consistent 25Gb/s throughput with minimal latency. It's engineered as a direct replacement for HPE part numbers R0M44A-1M and R9F94A-1M, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with existing HPE networking equipment. **Safety & Compliance:** Comprehensive safety certifications include Class 1 Laser, UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10, and TUV approval. The cable is fully RoHS and ELV compliant under EU Directive 2002/95/EC, making it environmentally responsible for global deployments. **Operational Advantages:** Active optical cables eliminate the need for bulky transceivers and separate cabling, reducing deployment complexity and total cost of ownership. The cable operates reliably across 0-70°C temperature ranges, suitable for varied data center environments. Its robust plastic jacketing with fiber strands provides durability while maintaining flexibility for installation in tight spaces. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and shipped from convenient US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC), this product qualifies for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom brand programming is available for enterprise customers requiring specialized configurations. **Ideal Applications:** Perfect for upgrading legacy 10Gb infrastructure to 25Gb speeds, establishing direct server-to-server connectivity, and implementing high-speed storage area networks (SANs). Suitable for telecommunications, financial services, healthcare, and any organization requiring reliable, high-performance fiber optic connectivity.
