SFP56-50G-AOC-50M164FT 50G SFP56 Active Optical Cable, 50m (164ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 50G performance with a fixed 50m (164ft) cable run. It corresponds to Generic SFP56-50G-AOC-50M164FT and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured AOC assembly in 50m (164ft)
• 50G connectivity at 50Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 50m (164ft), SFP56-50G-AOC-50M164FT
• 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 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.

SFP56-50G-AOC-50M164FT is the longest of 10 verified length options in this family. Compared with SFP56-50G-AOC-30M98FT at 30m (98ft), it provides 20m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

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-50M164FT. 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 SFP56-50G-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.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

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.
