The JBX04691 30m 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable represents a premium solution for high-speed network infrastructure requiring Palo Alto Networks compatibility. This advanced optical interconnect technology delivers exceptional performance characteristics suitable for modern enterprise environments. **Key Technical Features:** This active optical cable utilizes OM3 50/125 multimode fiber construction, enabling reliable 25GB/s data transmission over the full 30-meter distance. The duplex configuration supports bidirectional communication, making it ideal for full-duplex network operations. The SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with standard network equipment, while the active electronics embedded within the cable connectors optimize signal integrity and eliminate performance degradation. **Safety and Compliance:** Comprehensive certifications including Class 1 Laser, TUV, UL/FDA (21CFR 1040.10), and RoHS/ELV compliance ensure safe operation across diverse environments. The LSZH jacketing (Riser Rated OFNR) minimizes smoke and toxic halogen emissions in case of fire, meeting stringent building codes and safety regulations required in enterprise facilities. **Performance Benefits:** Active optical cable technology provides superior advantages over passive copper alternatives, including lower power consumption, reduced electromagnetic interference, and extended transmission distances without signal degradation. The 30-meter length eliminates the need for additional repeaters or signal conditioning equipment, reducing infrastructure complexity and total cost of ownership. **Applications:** Ideal for data center migrations, network backbone upgrades, storage area network (SAN) implementations, and high-density switch interconnections. Particularly valuable for environments requiring Palo Alto Networks security appliance integration or switching infrastructure expansion. **Warranty and Support:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Ships from multiple U.S. locations for expedited delivery. Custom brand programming available for enterprise procurement requirements.
