• Cable construction: Passive DAC
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 55mm

The listed modulation format is 8x 200G-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.

The rated power consumption is 0.1W 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 26AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 55mm. 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 1.6T Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include OSFP MSA, IEEE 802.3. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

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.

The 0.5m (2ft) length is suited to closely aligned ports where excessive slack would obstruct airflow or complicate dressing. Measure the actual port-to-port path before choosing OSFP (IHS Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS Finned Top)-1.6T-DAC-0.5M2FT; even a short assembly must retain the specified bend radius and should never be pulled tight behind the equipment.

OSFP (IHS Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS Finned Top)-1.6T-DAC-0.5M2FT is the shortest of 2 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is OSFP (IHS Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS Finned Top)-1.6T-DAC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft), adding 0.5m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

For this Generic application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

Use part number OSFP (IHS Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS Finned Top)-1.6T-DAC-0.5M2FT for the 0.5m (2ft) 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.

Every OSFP (IHS Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS Finned Top)-1.6T-DAC-0.5M2FT compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 0.5m (2ft) 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.

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.
