AOC Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF050-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 50m Blue

The BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF050-BO is a 50 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors at both ends designed for 100GBASE-SR4 and InfiniBand links. Constructed with stainless steel components and a blue jacket, the cable provides a factory-tested optical connection for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission in data center and high-performance computing environments. It supports simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472 when supported by the host hardware.

Advantages

The AOC design eliminates electromagnetic interference and simplifies cabling between adjacent racks or within racks while delivering 100 Gbps class bandwidth and reduced latency compared with copper. Manufactured to MSA standards and populated with industry-grade components, the cable is compatible with common hardware platforms that accept QSFP28 AOCs. Integrated digital diagnostics enable real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser currents, optical power and temperature when the host supports DDM.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the QSFP28 plugs into compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, routers or server adapters. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that connected hardware supports QSFP28 AOC modules and, if diagnostics are required, DDM/DOM. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; observe minimum bend radius recommendations from the hardware vendor. No additional transceivers or fiber patching is required because the AOC integrates the optical transceivers within the cable assembly.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Verify host compatibility with QSFP28 AOCs and enable DDM/DOM in supported devices for remote monitoring. Store and handle the cable to prevent kinking and protect connector endfaces when not in use.
