SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 to QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

This HT cable matches the SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT requirement for multi-vendor equipment. The 5m (16ft) assembly supports 100G 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: SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FTHT Part Number: SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT

Product Highlights

• 100G connectivity at 100Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP-DD to QSFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT
• Cable construction: OM3
• Maximum power consumption: SFP-DD: <3.5WQSFP28: <5.5W
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

The listed modulation format is SFP-DD-2x 50G-PAM4 QSFP28-4x 25G-NRZ. 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.

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 intended application is 100GBASE SR2 Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include SFP-DD & QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3cd, RoHS6 (Lead-free). 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 SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-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.

SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-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 SFP-DD: <3.5WQSFP28: <5.5W. 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-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 SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-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.

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.

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.
