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.

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.

Structured Pathways and Serviceability

Treat the direct-attach assembly as part of the permanent pathway plan even when the link is expected to be temporary. Follow the intended horizontal and vertical managers, maintain the specified bend radius and leave service access around both ports. A small, supported service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack or placed under cable-tie pressure. 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.

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.

Ordering Information

Include the part number, fixed length, quantity and required pathway or rack grouping in the order information. The host model and firmware release are useful for change-controlled deployments. Different lengths should remain separate order lines so delivered labels and packing records agree with the pathway plan. Keep OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-1.6T-ACC-1.5M5FT associated with 1.5m (5ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Verification covers the physical connectors, expected host identity and an operating link with available diagnostic indications. We distinguish this complete check from a simple continuity test. Platform model and software release can be reviewed in advance where the installation has strict documentation or change-control requirements. Where supported by the host, link stability and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. 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.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

After connector inspection and link verification, the assembly is coiled without tight bends and packed with end protection. Labels can cross-reference the customer cable schedule, OEM part number and length. This supports both receiving checks and later moves, adds or changes. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
