The JBX04740 70-Meter 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 Active Optical Cable represents a sophisticated solution for modern data center and enterprise network deployments. As a Extreme Networks compatible component, this cable bridges the gap between high-speed demand and practical installation requirements, delivering industry-leading performance at competitive pricing. **Technical Excellence:** Designed to IEEE 802.3by specifications, this active optical cable (AOC) features integrated transceiver electronics that actively compensate for signal attenuation, enabling consistent 25Gbps transmission across the full 70-meter distance. The OM3 50/125 multimode fiber core provides optimal modal bandwidth characteristics, while the two-strand duplex configuration supports full-duplex communication for bidirectional data flow. **Safety and Compliance:** The LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacketing meets stringent fire safety codes for vertical installations in multi-story buildings. Certifications include UL/FDA 21CFR 1040.10, TUV, and Class 1 Laser designation, ensuring safety in professional environments. Full RoHS/ELV compliance (EU Directive 2002/95/EC) demonstrates environmental responsibility. **Ideal Applications:** • High-performance data center interconnects • Server-to-switch backbone connections • Storage area network (SAN) deployments • Campus network infrastructure • Video streaming and content delivery networks • Cloud computing environments **Advantages Over Alternatives:** Compared to traditional copper or longer passive fiber runs, AOC cables eliminate the need for external optical transceivers, reducing system complexity and cost. The 70-meter length eliminates distance limitations of standard SFP28 optics while maintaining superior signal integrity. **Operating Specifications:** Temperature range of 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F) ensures reliable operation in climate-controlled data centers and equipment rooms. The compact 12x12x70mm form factor enables efficient cable management in dense rack environments. **Value Proposition:** With free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 and availability from multiple U.S. distribution centers (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC), rapid deployment is assured. Custom brand programming options allow integration into standardized procurement processes. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for mission-critical deployments. Whether upgrading existing Extreme Networks infrastructure or building new high-speed fabric, the JBX04740 delivers professional-grade performance, reliability, and compliance in a future-proof package.
