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 5m (16ft) length gives QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-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.

QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-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 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 assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT. 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.

Quote HT part number QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT with the required quantity. The 5m (16ft) 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.

Every QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-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.

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.
