Network Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF005-BO QSFP28 AOC 5m Blue

The BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF005-BO QSFP28 AOC 5m Blue is a 5-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission between QSFP28 ports. Intended for data center and high-performance computing deployments, this AOC delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The cable combines an active optical link with durable stainless steel elements and a blue jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

This QSFP28 AOC supports long-reach, high-speed links with reduced power consumption compared with equivalent electrical connections. The active optical design provides consistent signal integrity over the 5 m length, while the stainless steel-reinforced construction improves mechanical durability. The blue outer jacket aids in cable management and quick visual identification in dense rack environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 AOC by aligning each QSFP28 connector with the corresponding port and inserting until the connector latches. Verify that host devices recognize the link and negotiate the intended data rate (for example, 100 Gbps). Avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for active optical cables to preserve signal performance. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to prevent connector damage.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to minimize sharp bends and mechanical stress, and avoid placing it near heat sources. Use the blue jacket for organized cable management and label both ends if used in large installations. Verify compatibility with QSFP28 ports on your equipment and confirm supported protocols and data rates before deployment.
