Network Cable BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF020-BO QSFP28 AOC 20m Blue

The BlueOptics SPTMJP1PMCDF020-BO QSFP28 AOC 20m Blue is a 20-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission in InfiniBand and fibre optic environments. It features QSFP28 connectors at both ends and a blue jacket with stainless-steel elements for mechanical robustness. The cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage systems where short to medium reach optical interconnects are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable combines QSFP28 connectivity with a 20 m reach, delivering stable high-bandwidth performance and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The stainless-steel reinforced sections increase durability in rack environments and during regular handling. The blue outer jacket provides clear visual identification in dense cable installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP28 interfaces and are powered down or configured per vendor guidance before insertion if required. Align the QSFP28 connector latch and insert the connector fully into the port until it seats; engage any retention mechanism present on the port. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment vendor. For removal, release the connector latch or retention clip and withdraw the cable straight out to avoid stress on the connector.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight loops and protect connector ends with dust caps when not in use. Avoid exposure to excessive tensile force or crushing; inspect connectors periodically for contamination and clean with manufacturer-approved optical cleaning tools if required.
