QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT 56G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)

Use the QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT compatible assembly where a High-Speed connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 1m (3ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FTHT Part Number: QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured AOC assembly in 1m (3ft)
• High-Speed connectivity at FDR 56Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

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.

QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT is the shortest of 10 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 QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 56G InfiniBand , 4x FDR, Fibre Channel. 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.

At 1m (3ft), QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

When ordering, specify QSFP-56G-AO-1M3FT, cable length 1m (3ft) 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.

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.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
