## Summary description

The BlueOptics Q9S68A-BO is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable featuring SFP28 connectors. It provides high-speed data transfer with male/male connectors, ideal for data centers and networking applications.

## Long description

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.
Suitable for
Short-reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centres
Storage area network connections requiring 25G optics
High-density rack installations where a pre-terminated SFP28 AOC simplifies cabling
Environments needing immunity to electromagnetic interference
Key specifications
Length: 5 metres
Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male/male)
Technology: Active Optical Cable (AOC) for multimode fibre
Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per channel (25GBASE-SR4)
Wavelength/optical type: multimode, short-reach SR4 optics
Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) per MSA SFF-8472
Application areas: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET high-speed links
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.
Usage 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.
