QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AOC-5M16FT 800G QSFP-DD 8 x 100G PAM4 Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

Use the QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AOC-5M16FT compatible assembly where a 800G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 5m (16ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

The listed modulation format is 8x 100G-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 intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP-DD HW Specification Rev 6.3, CMIS Rev 5.0. 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 QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-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.

QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AOC-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 ≤12W 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.

For this Generic application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and optical link operation, receive activity 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.

When ordering, specify QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AOC-5M16FT, cable length 5m (16ft) 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.

Every QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AOC-5M16FT compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 5m (16ft) 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.
