SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT 50G SFP56 Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 2m (7ft)

This SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT compatible DAC cable provides a 50G direct connection for Generic equipment in a fixed 2m (7ft) configuration. The SFP56 to SFP56 assembly integrates both ends and the cable, giving data-center designers one defined product to evaluate for reach, rack layout, airflow and host compatibility.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is ＜0.1W. 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.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft) and SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

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 listed conductor specification is 26AWG; the stated power consumption is ＜0.1W; the jacket material is PVC.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC jacket. 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 50G Ethernet.

Passive Copper Operation

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

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. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.

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 2m (7ft); 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 link stability 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.

Does this order code cover multiple lengths?

No. SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT refers here to 2m (7ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.

Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?

No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.

Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?

No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.

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.
