The JBX04746 70-meter 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable represents enterprise-class networking infrastructure designed specifically for Palo Alto Networks deployments. This professional-grade solution combines cutting-edge optical technology with proven reliability for mission-critical data center applications. Key Technical Specifications: This cable features OM3 50/125 multimode fiber architecture, supporting 25GB data rates per IEEE 802.3by standards. The duplex configuration utilizes two fiber strands for simultaneous full-duplex communication, eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks in high-demand network environments. The 70-meter length accommodates extended cable runs typical in large data centers and campus networks, reducing the need for intermediate active equipment. Construction and Safety: Built with plastic jacketing incorporating LSZH materials, the cable produces minimal smoke and zero halogen emissions during combustion—critical for enclosed spaces and compliance with fire codes. OFNR (Riser) rating permits installation in vertical cable pathways between building floors. Comprehensive certifications include Class 1 Laser safety, UL/FDA approval per 21CFR 1040.10, and TUV validation, ensuring compatibility with regulated environments. Environmental Compliance: Fully RoHS (EU Directive 2002/95/EC) and ELV compliant, this cable meets international environmental standards while maintaining peak performance. Operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F) ensures stable operation across diverse facility conditions. Applications and Benefits: Ideal for enterprise data centers, network backbone upgrades, storage area networks (SANs), and high-speed inter-switch connectivity. The cable directly replaces Palo Alto Networks OEM part PAN-SFP28-AOC-50M, simplifying procurement and inventory management. Active optical technology eliminates copper signal degradation, providing superior reliability over extended distances compared to passive DAC solutions. Support and Warranty: Includes 90-day limited warranty with dedicated technical support. Custom brand programming available for enterprise deployments. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
