QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 to 4 x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Active Optical Breakout Cable, 5m (16ft)

This HT cable matches the QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT requirement for multi-vendor equipment. The 5m (16ft) assembly supports 200G operation and provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

OEM Part Number: QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FTHT Part Number: QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured AOC assembly in 5m (16ft)
• 200G connectivity at 200G
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to SFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT
• 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.

The QSFP56 to SFP56 configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

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 SFP56-200G-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 SFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-AOC-5M16FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 5m (16ft) 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.

When ordering, specify QSFP56 to SFP56-200G-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.

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.

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.
