The JBX05448 2-meter 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ passive direct attach copper cable represents the optimal balance of performance, affordability, and reliability for modern data center networking infrastructure. Manufactured to the highest standards with copper connectors and twinax construction, this cable delivers consistent 40GB/s throughput while maintaining signal integrity at extended distances. Key Technical Specifications: This Intel-compatible cable features precision-engineered 30AWG twinax copper conductors designed to meet IEEE 802.3ba specifications. The passive architecture eliminates the need for active electronics, reducing power consumption and heat generation while maintaining superior performance. Operating reliably between 0-70°C (32-158°F), the cable suits diverse data center environments from climate-controlled facilities to edge computing locations. Compliance & Certification: Fully RoHS, TUV, and UL certified, the JBX05448 meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC environmental standards. This certification ensures compatibility with enterprise procurement policies and sustainability initiatives while guaranteeing safe operation in demanding network environments. Applications & Use Cases: Perfect for high-speed Ethernet networks, storage area networks (SANs), and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, this cable excels in scenarios requiring short-distance, high-bandwidth connectivity. The 2-meter length proves ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) switching, inter-switch links (ISLs), and server-to-switch connections in densely populated data centers. Compatibility & Integration: Direct replacement for OEM part numbers CBL1-0600230 and XLDACBL2, the JBX05448 integrates seamlessly into existing Intel-based infrastructure. The QSFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with current and legacy equipment, protecting your technology investments. Value Proposition: With free standard shipping on orders over $99 and a 90-day limited warranty, you receive enterprise-grade connectivity at competitive pricing. Custom brand programming options available for OEM and reseller partners seeking white-label solutions.
