QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-5M16FT 56G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

This QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-5M16FT compatible AOC cable provides a High-Speed direct connection for Generic equipment in a fixed 5m (16ft) configuration. The QSFP+ to QSFP+ assembly integrates both ends and the cable, giving data-center designers one defined product to evaluate for reach, rack layout, airflow and host compatibility.

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.

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.

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 5m (16ft) length gives QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-5M16FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. The integrated optical assembly should be supported along its route without tight bends or connector pull loads; the AOC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-10M33FT at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m 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.

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. Keep QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-5M16FT associated with 5m (16ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

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 receive activity and diagnostic indications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?

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

Can different brands be connected with the same assembly?

Only where both hosts explicitly support the complete interface and compatibility arrangement. Document each end and select the appropriate brand-specific product when required.

Does this order code cover multiple lengths?

No. QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-5M16FT refers here to 5m (16ft). 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.

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. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.
