The JBX04679 30m Cisco Compatible 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 Active Optical Cable represents the cutting edge of high-speed optical connectivity for modern data centers and enterprise networks. This sophisticated piece of infrastructure combines innovative active optical cable (AOC) technology with proven multimode fiber architecture to deliver exceptional performance and reliability. **Technical Specifications:** This cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber construction, capable of supporting 25Gbps data rates across distances up to 30 meters. The duplex configuration with two fiber strands provides redundancy and bi-directional communication capabilities. The cable meets IEEE 802.3by specifications and is fully qualified for SFF-8402 and SFF-8472 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with enterprise-grade network equipment. **Superior Design & Safety:** The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) riser-rated jacketing with plastic body construction protects against fire hazards while maintaining flexibility for installation in challenging environments. Comprehensive safety certifications include Class 1 Laser approval, UL/FDA compliance per 21CFR 1040.10, and TÜV verification. Full RoHS/ELV directive compliance (EU 2002/95/EC) meets international environmental standards. **Performance Advantages:** Active optical cables eliminate signal degradation associated with long copper runs, delivering cleaner signals and enabling higher data integrity. The 25GBASE-AOC protocol standard provides optimal performance for modern virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and high-frequency trading applications. Operating across 0-70°C temperature ranges, this cable handles diverse data center conditions without performance compromise. **Cisco Compatibility & Integration:** Specifically designed as a drop-in replacement for Cisco's SFP-25G-AOC30M, this cable integrates seamlessly with existing Cisco infrastructure. The SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with current and next-generation Cisco switches, routers, and network appliances. **Practical Benefits:** For organizations expanding network capacity, this cable offers immediate cost-effectiveness through reduced power consumption compared to active copper alternatives. The 30-meter length accommodates typical data center rack-to-rack distances without requiring additional equipment. Custom brand programming options allow integration into standardized procurement workflows. **Support & Warranty:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and backed by responsive customer support from facilities in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC, this cable provides peace of mind. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 reduces total cost of ownership for bulk deployments.
