Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is <0.1W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

At 1m (3ft), FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC-L1 is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC jacket. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is 50G Ethernet.

Passive Copper Operation

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

Fortinet Compatibility and Factory Testing

Our compatibility setup for Fortinet FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC-L1 is checked together with the physical 1m (3ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

Ordering Information

Use part number FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC-L1 for the 1m (3ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original Fortinet cable?

No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Fortinet FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC-L1.

Are separate optical modules required?

No. The connectors and cable form one complete direct-attach assembly. Do not attempt to detach or replace either end.

Can the cable be folded to shorten its routing path?

No. Follow the specified minimum bend radius and route the 1m (3ft) assembly without tight folds, sharp edges or excessive cable ties.

Can I use it between different speeds or interface types?

Only when both hosts explicitly support the same data rate, lane mapping and breakout configuration. Mechanical fit alone is not proof of interoperability.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Every FN-CABLE-SFP56-DAC-L1 compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 1m (3ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
