AOC Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF003-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 3m Blue

The AOC Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF003-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 3m Blue is a 3-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre optic interconnects. It uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends to support high-bandwidth, low-latency links required in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The cable combines an optical transmission medium with robust stainless steel elements and a blue jacket for visual identification and rack organization.

Advantages

This AOC cable provides high data throughput with reduced signal attenuation compared to copper. Its QSFP28-to-QSFP28 configuration enables compatibility with modern InfiniBand and 100GbE interfaces, while the active optical design ensures consistent performance over the 3 m length. The stainless steel reinforcement increases mechanical durability, and the blue color helps with cable management and quick visual identification in dense installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 connector into the appropriate QSFP28 port on your network devices, ensuring proper alignment before insertion. Ensure devices are powered down or support hot-plugging per the equipment manual if necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius for optical cables. Verify link status on both connected devices and confirm negotiated link speed and protocol (for example, InfiniBand or 100GbE).

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical strain on the cable; use cable management to prevent kinks and maintain airflow in racks. Verify compatibility with your devices' QSFP28 ports and firmware, and follow manufacturer guidance for hot-plug procedures when changing live connections.
