OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT 400G OSFP 8 x 50G PAM4 IHS/Finned Top Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 2.5m (8ft)

The OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT cable offers a direct OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) connection at 400Gbps. Its 2.5m (8ft) length and DAC construction are intended for multi-vendor equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FTHT Part Number: OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT

• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 40.5mm

The listed modulation format is 8x 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.

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 28AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 40.5mm. 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 determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include OSFP MSA, IEEE 802.3cd 100GBase-CR2, CMIS 4.0. 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 2.5m (8ft) version is useful when a two-metre run would leave insufficient working slack. Before installation, check the complete horizontal and vertical path so that OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT occupies the middle of this family between OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft) and OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Each OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Generic platform should be included with the order.

When ordering, specify OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-400G-DAC-2.5M8FT, cable length 2.5m (8ft) 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.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

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.
