The JBX04724 5-meter Dell-compatible 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable represents a premium networking solution for organizations requiring high-speed, reliable data transmission in enterprise environments. As an active optical cable, this product incorporates embedded optical transceivers at both ends, eliminating the need for separate optics and simplifying deployment across Dell networking infrastructure. Technical Specifications: This cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber with a duplex (two-strand) configuration, enabling simultaneous bidirectional data transmission at 25GB speeds. The cable meets IEEE 802.3by specifications and qualifies for SFF-8402 and SFF-8472 standards, ensuring compatibility with modern high-speed networking equipment. The 5-meter length provides flexibility for mid-range rack-to-rack or equipment interconnections without signal degradation. Safety and Compliance: The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) riser-rated jacketing provides fire safety suitable for in-building cable runs while minimizing toxic emissions in case of fire. Full compliance includes Class 1 Laser safety certification, TUV and UL/FDA compliance per 21CFR 1040.10, and adherence to EU directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS) for hazardous substance restrictions. Perfect Replacements: This cable directly replaces Dell OEM part numbers 470-ACIM-5M and 470-ACIF-5M, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement solution for existing Dell deployments. Whether expanding network capacity or replacing aging infrastructure, this cable ensures seamless integration. Applications: Ideal for data centers, cloud computing environments, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise storage area networks (SANs) requiring 25GB connectivity. The short 5-meter length is particularly suited for equipment rack interconnections and switch-to-server connections. Value Proposition: With free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, competitive pricing, and a 90-day limited warranty, this cable delivers enterprise-grade performance at accessible pricing. Custom brand programming is available for integration into larger purchasing agreements. Operating Conditions: Rated for temperatures between 0-70°C, this cable performs reliably in standard data center and office environments, with sufficient thermal margin for climate-controlled facilities. Manufactured to exacting standards with origins in Vietnam and China, this product undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance and longevity in mission-critical applications.
