Network Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF002-BO QSFP28 AOC 2m Blue

The BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF002-BO QSFP28 AOC 2m Blue is a 2-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed interconnects in data centre and enterprise networking environments. Featuring QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this AOC supports high-bandwidth links and is suitable for InfiniBand and fibre optic standards. The cable combines a lightweight construction with stainless steel connector housings and a blue jacket for easy identification and robust performance.

Advantages

This 2 m BlueOptics AOC provides low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for short-reach links without the need for separate transceivers. Its active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with equivalent copper assemblies. Stainless steel connector shells improve connector durability while the blue jacket facilitates quick visual identification in dense cabling environments. The lightweight 0.15 kg construction simplifies cable management and reduces strain on ports.

How to use

Ensure both network devices support QSFP28 interfaces and compatible link speeds before installation. Power down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your equipment vendor when inserting or removing the QSFP28 connectors. Align the connector latch and insert the module fully into the QSFP28 port until it seats securely. Route the 2 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for AOC assemblies. Verify link status and negotiate the desired speed through your switch or host adapter management tools.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources despite the AOC's immunity advantages, and keep connectors clean and free of debris. Use this 2 m AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in racks and between nearby equipment where QSFP28 ports are available. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and handling to preserve connector integrity.
