OSFPFL-200G-QAO-5M16FT 200G OSFP 4 x 50G PAM4 RHS/Flat Top to 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

This 5m (16ft) AOC cable is built for multi-vendor equipment requiring the OSFPFL-200G-QAO-5M16FT interface. The 200Gbps link uses OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) to QSFP56 and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

The listed modulation format is OSFP-4x 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.

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 IEEE802.3cd, IEEE 802.3bs, OSFP MSA, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating 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 OSFPFL-200G-QAO-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.

OSFPFL-200G-QAO-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between OSFPFL-200G-QAO-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and OSFPFL-200G-QAO-7M23FT at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. 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-FL End)5.5W (QSFP56 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) to QSFP56 shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting OSFPFL-200G-QAO-5M16FT and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

This product is ordered as OSFPFL-200G-QAO-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.

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.
