BlueOptics Q9S68A-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 5 m SFP28 aqua

The BlueOptics Q9S68A-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SFP28 Aqua is a 5-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28-to-SFP28 connectors designed for high-speed short-reach links. It supports 25GBASE-SR4 optics over multimode fiber and is compatible with platforms that accept SFP28 AOCs following MSA standards. The pre-terminated AOC integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end, providing a factory-tested fibre connection suitable for switches, storage systems and other networking equipment that require reliable 25 Gbit/s links on a 5 m span.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides low-latency, EMI-immune optical transmission and eliminates the need for field-terminated cabling or patching. It is manufactured to MSA-compliant form factors and tested for interoperability with major hardware that supports the equivalent HPE Q9S68A specification. The integrated transceivers and selected high-quality components are intended to deliver stable optical performance, digital diagnostics support and a long operational life suitable for data centre and enterprise environments.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure the host hardware supports SFP28 AOC modules and, if you require monitoring, that DDM/DOM is enabled in the device firmware to access real-time diagnostics such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and module temperature. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and route the cable to prevent mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with SFP28 AOCs before deployment and perform a link test after installation. For reliable diagnostics and monitoring, confirm DDM/DOM support in the connected hardware. Store and handle the cable by protecting the connector end-caps and avoiding tight bends or excessive pulling to preserve optical performance and service life.
