The listed modulation format is OSFP-8x 50G-PAM4QSFP56-4x 50G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-10M33FT at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The rated power consumption is 10W (OSFP End) 5.5W (QSFP56 Per End). 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.

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. 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.

The intended application is 400G/200G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3cd, CMIS Rev. 4.0, SFF-8679, SFF-8661, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56 configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

The 5m (16ft) length gives OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. The integrated optical assembly should be supported along its route without tight bends or connector pull loads; the AOC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 5m (16ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Generic software can request a pre-order check.

When ordering, specify OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT, cable length 5m (16ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT and the 5m (16ft) length for easier inventory control.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
