The JBX04668 2m 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 Active Optical Cable represents cutting-edge connectivity for modern high-speed networks. This Extreme Networks-compatible solution leverages active optical cable technology to deliver 25GB-per-second data transmission over extended distances with minimal signal degradation. **Technical Excellence:** Built on OM3 50/125 multimode fiber architecture, this cable meets rigorous IEEE 802.3by specifications for 25GBASE-SR compliance. The duplex fiber strand configuration ensures bidirectional communication, while the integrated active components amplify signals to maintain integrity across the full 2-meter span. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing provides superior fire safety ratings, making it ideal for enclosed cable pathways and plenum spaces. **Design & Safety:** The compact SFP28 form factor integrates seamlessly into dense network environments without compromising manageability. Multiple safety certifications including Class 1 Laser, TUV, UL/FDA compliance (21CFR 1040.10), and RoHS/ELV directive adherence ensure this cable meets stringent regulatory requirements for data center and enterprise deployments. **Performance Characteristics:** With operating temperatures from 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable adapts to various environmental conditions while maintaining consistent performance. The active optical design reduces power consumption compared to traditional DAC solutions, providing cost-effective high-speed connectivity without heat generation concerns. **Compatibility & Application:** Direct replacement for Extreme Networks OEM part number 10530-2M, this cable integrates flawlessly with existing Extreme Networks infrastructure. Ideal applications include: • Data center interconnects • Server-to-switch connectivity • Storage area network (SAN) expansion • High-frequency trading environments • Cloud service infrastructure **Quality Assurance:** Every cable undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compliance with SFF-8402 and SFF-8472 standards. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while free standard shipping on orders over $99 delivers exceptional value. Ships from strategic U.S. locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) for rapid deployment.
