Network Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF001-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 1 m Turquoise

The BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF001-BO QSFP28 InfiniBand 1 m Turquoise is an active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 connectors on both ends and a 1 metre turquoise jacket. Designed to meet MSA-compatible QSFP28 standards, this 100GBASE-SR4-capable cable supports high-speed optical data transmission for switches, routers, storage systems and other data centre equipment that accept QSFP28 AOC interfaces. The cable integrates transmit and receive optical channels and provides a compact, low-latency connection for short-reach rack and adjacent-rack interconnects.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC offers compatibility with common QSFP28 platforms and supports 100GBASE-SR4 class transmission using optical laser technology. It features a lightweight 1 m construction and a turquoise outer colour for easy identification in dense cabling environments. The cable includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality compliant with MSA SFF-8472 for real-time monitoring of power, temperature and optical levels when supported by host hardware. Components and assembly follow MSA guidelines to ensure interoperability and consistent performance in compatible hardware.

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices and gently insert until the connector latches. Use the cable to link compatible QSFP28 ports for 100G optical links; the cable handles both transmit and receive channels internally. Ensure both connected devices support QSFP28 AOC modules and, if you rely on digital diagnostics, verify host support for DDM/DOM to access monitoring data. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, place the cable in rack pathways that prevent tight bends and avoid compressing the fibre; observe minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC interfaces and enable DOM/DDM on supported equipment to monitor optical power and temperature. Store and handle the cable by its connectors and avoid pulling on the fibre jacket to maintain long-term performance.
