AOC Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF010-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 10 m Blue

The BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF010-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 10 m Blue is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data center and enterprise networks. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends and a 10 m length, this BlueOptics AOC supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links suitable for InfiniBand and other 100GbE-class applications. The cable uses optical transmission to reduce electromagnetic interference and offers a durable construction with stainless steel components and a blue outer jacket for easy identification in rack environments.

Advantages

This AOC provides stable high-speed data transmission over 10 metres while avoiding the signal loss and crosstalk common to long copper links. The QSFP28-to-QSFP28 configuration enables direct 100 Gbit-class connections without separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The combination of optical fiber and stainless steel reinforcements improves durability and longevity in rack-mounted and high-traffic installations. The blue colour of the cable assists with organized cabling and visual management in complex network cabinets.

Key specifications

How to use

Verify that both ends of the network equipment accept QSFP28 interfaces and that the target ports are configured for the intended protocol (InfiniBand or Ethernet). Handle the AOC by its connector housings and avoid excessive bending of the cable along its length. Insert each QSFP28 connector fully into the appropriate port until it latches; follow any equipment-specific procedures to enable the link. After installation, confirm link status and negotiated speed via the network devices' management interfaces.

Recommendations

Route the cable using standard cable-management practices to prevent sharp bends and mechanical stress. Maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor and avoid tight zip-tying near connector ends. For reliable operation, keep connectors clean and use dust caps when ports are not in use. If used in high-density racks, label both ends for easy identification and maintenance.
