The listed modulation format is 8x 50G-PAM4 to Dual 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.

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 (RHS/Flat 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.

OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and OSFP (RHS/Flat 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 determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include CMIS 4.0, SFF-8636，IEEE 802.3 bs-2*200GAUI-4, IEEE 802.3 bs-200GAUI-4, OSFP MSA, SFF-8679, SFF-8661. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The OSFP (RHS/Flat 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.

Our compatibility setup for Generic OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT is checked together with the physical 5m (16ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

This product is ordered as OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) to 2x QSFP56-400G-AOC-5M16FT in 5m (16ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

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.
