QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-50M164FT 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Active Optical Cable, 50m (164ft)

This 50m (164ft) AOC cable is built for multi-vendor equipment requiring the QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-50M164FT interface. The 200Gbps link uses QSFP56 to QSFP56 and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

The listed modulation format is 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 intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3, QSFP56 MSA, SFF-8665, 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 extended 50m (164ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-50M164FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-30M98FT at 30m (98ft) and QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-100M328FT at 100m (328ft). It adds 20m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 50m. 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 4.35W 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 LSZH 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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-50M164FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 50m (164ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Generic software can request a pre-order check.

Quote HT part number QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-50M164FT with the required quantity. The 50m (164ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

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.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
