Cable Construction and Routing

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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 56G InfiniBand , 4x FDR, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Integrated Optical Assembly

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.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

The extended 50m (164ft) configuration gives QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-50M164FT a specific place in the family reach range. It should not be treated as a universal substitute for every shorter order code. Match it to a documented route, protect the integrated optical cable and both optical engines during handling and retain the part-number label for later maintenance. The next shorter verified assembly is QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-30M98FT at 30m (98ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-50M164FT is the longest of 10 verified length options in this family. Compared with QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-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.

Data-Center Design and Airflow

Select the assembly by both reach and rack layout. A direct connection removes separate module-and-patch-cord interfaces, but it still needs a bend-safe pathway and clear connector access. Keep cable bundles from blocking front-panel airflow, account for the listed interface power where applicable and choose a length that supports maintenance without leaving an unmanaged coil. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each cable receives connector inspection and a functional link check before it is coiled with bend-safe slack and packed. Protective materials shield the connector housings during transport. Rack or project labels are available to keep length, part number and installation destination aligned. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.

Ordering Information

Provide the OEM reference, HT part number, fixed length and quantity, together with the intended host interfaces. Rack-based quantities and packaging instructions can be included for larger deployments. Other lengths are separate products and should be entered on their own order lines. This page’s fixed configuration is 50m (164ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility confirmation combines host identification with actual link establishment and diagnostic checks. The assembly is prepared for the stated OEM reference rather than selected only by connector shape. For a new data-center deployment, the equipment model, port mode and software release provide the most useful basis for a pre-order review. The check includes receive activity and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?

No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.

Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?

Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.

What details assist a compatibility review?

Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.

How should an unused assembly be stored?

Protect both connector ends, keep the cable in a loose bend-safe coil and retain its part-number label so the length and compatibility identity remain traceable.

Shipping and Lead Time

Available stock is generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation, with production lead times advised for larger quantities. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.
