SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FT 50G SFP56 Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

Use the SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FT compatible assembly where a 50G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 20m (66ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FTHT Part Number: SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured AOC assembly in 20m (66ft)
• 50G connectivity at 50Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 20m (66ft), SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FT
• Cable construction: Optical Cable
• Maximum power consumption: ≤2W
• Minimum bend radius: 60mm

The listed modulation format is 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.

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 60mm. 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 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 20m (66ft) 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.

SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP56-50G-AOC-15M49FT at 15m (49ft) and SFP56-50G-AOC-25M82FT at 25m (82ft). It adds 5m 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 ≤2W. 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 assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FT. 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.

This product is ordered as SFP56-50G-AOC-20M66FT in 20m (66ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

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.
