BlueOptics Q9S67A-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m SFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics Q9S67A-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m active optical cable with SFP28 to SFP28 male connectors in an aqua housing. Designed for high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber, this 25G-capable AOC follows MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) electrical and optical interface standards and is compatible with networking hardware that accepts SFP28 InfiniBand or 25GBASE-SR4 AOCs. The pre-terminated assembly eliminates the need for separate patch cords and simplifies link deployment in racks and data center cabling runs.

Advantages

The cable provides a factory-assembled optical link with integrated transmitter and receiver electronics on each end to support bidirectional 25 Gbps signaling over a 3 m multimode fiber path. Using an active optical design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and avoids connector cleaning and attenuation issues common to field-terminated fiber patching. The product is produced to MSA-compatible form factors and undergoes compatibility and functional testing for use in systems that support SFP28 AOCs.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the SFP28 modules into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring the retention latches engage. Verify that the host devices support SFP28 AOCs and, if needed, enable any vendor or firmware settings required for third-party AOCs. After insertion, confirm link status and negotiated speed via the device management interface. For monitoring, access DDM/DOM data from the host if supported to review voltage, temperature, transmit and receive power, and laser bias current in real time.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends near the connectors; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs. Store and install in clean environments to reduce contamination risk, and verify host compatibility and firmware support for third-party SFP28 AOCs to ensure full functionality and access to DDM/DOM diagnostics.
