Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is 8x 200G-PAM4 to 8x 200G-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.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is 2W Per End. 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.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 50mm. 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 1.6T Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include OSFP Rev 5.2, IEEE 802.3df, IEEE 802.3dj, CMIS 5.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

The additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-1.6T-ACC-1.5M5FT useful routing flexibility when the ports are not directly aligned. It can accommodate a different rack unit or a short service loop, but excess cable should be dressed loosely rather than folded into a tight coil.

Position Within the Length Range

OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-1.6T-ACC-1.5M5FT occupies the middle of this family between OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-1.6T-ACC-1.1M3.6FT at 1.1m (3.6ft) and OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-1.6T-ACC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft). It adds 0.4m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. 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 30AWG; the minimum bend radius is 50mm; the stated power consumption is 2W Per End; the jacket material is PET.

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. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.

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. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-1.6T-ACC-1.5M5FT.

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. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
