The JBX06349 5m Juniper Compatible 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Active Direct Attach Copper Cable represents an enterprise-class networking solution designed for demanding infrastructure environments. This active DAC cable bridges the gap between high-speed data transmission requirements and cost-effective connectivity, offering superior performance compared to passive alternatives while maintaining competitive pricing. **Key Technical Features:** This 5-meter active DAC cable utilizes premium 30AWG Twinax copper construction, specifically engineered to minimize signal loss and electromagnetic interference. The active electronics integrated within the cable compensate for attenuation over longer distances, ensuring stable 10GB transmission across the full 5-meter span. Both ends feature industry-standard SFP+ connectors, providing universal compatibility with Juniper switches, routers, and optical transceivers. **Compliance and Reliability:** Manufactured to meet stringent international standards, the JBX06349 is qualified to SFF-8431 specifications and complies with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, TUV, and UL safety certifications. This multi-certification approach ensures the cable meets environmental regulations while delivering consistent, reliable performance. The 90-day limited warranty provides additional peace of mind for critical network deployments. **Performance Specifications:** With a maximum data rate of 10GB and operating temperature range of 0-70°C (32-158°F), this cable performs reliably in standard data center conditions. The compact dimensions (12x12x5mm connector profile) facilitate seamless integration into dense server environments without occupying excessive panel space. **Applications and Compatibility:** Perfectly suited for Juniper QFX series deployments, this cable directly replaces OEM part numbers QFX-SFP-10GE-DAC-5MA and QFX-SFP-DAC-5MA. Ideal applications include server-to-switch connectivity, switch-to-switch uplinks, and storage area network (SAN) configurations where 10GB speed is required within the 5-meter distance limitation. **Advantages Over Alternatives:** Unlike passive DAC cables, the active electronics in this cable extend reliable transmission distances and reduce compatibility issues with various switch platforms. Compared to fiber optic alternatives, active DAC cables offer lower cost, simpler implementation, and reduced power consumption, making them ideal for cost-conscious enterprises. **Ordering and Support:** Available with custom brand programming options and backed by rapid shipping from U.S. distribution centers in California and South Carolina. Qualified customers enjoy free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, reducing total cost of ownership for bulk network upgrades.
