HPE Q1H68A

Overview

The HPE Q1H68A is a 30 meter fiber optic breakout cable designed to provide efficient and reliable connectivity in high-density network environments. It features an MPO12 connector on one end that breaks out into four LC connectors, allowing a single QSFP port to connect to four separate SFP transceivers. With a slim 3 mm diameter and a minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm, this cable is ideal for routing through tight spaces without compromising signal integrity.

Key features

• Breaks out a single QSFP port into four SFP connections, simplifying network expansion and segmentation.
• Slim 3 mm outer diameter enables neat cable management in crowded racks and conduits.
• Minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm allows flexible routing around corners without risking damage or signal loss.
• Blue jacket provides easy visual identification to speed up troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed specifically for QSFP to SFP breakout applications, making it a strong choice for connecting top-of-rack switches to blade servers, storage arrays, or network taps. It fits well in enterprise data centers and campus core closets where high bandwidth ports need to be fanned out into multiple lower bandwidth links without adding bulk or complexity.

Ideal uses and environments

The HPE Q1H68A excels in environments that demand clean and efficient fiber optic cabling solutions. It works well in data centers with dense rack configurations, helping network engineers maintain organized cable runs while ensuring high-speed connectivity. Its flexibility and slim profile make it suitable for installations where space is limited and cable management is critical.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
