QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-4M13FTQSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-4M13FT 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Active Copper Twinax Cable, 4m (13ft)
The QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-4M13FT compatible cable combines 200G ACC connectivity with a defined 4m (13ft) pathway between QSFP56 to QSFP56 interfaces. It is intended for Generic equipment and is documented here as a distinct order code, allowing cable schedules, service access and related length selections to be reviewed before installation.

Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 1.5W 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 28AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 40mm. 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 IEEE 802.3cd, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
The 4m (13ft) length gives QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-4M13FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the ACC specification and host support must still match the intended link.
Position Within the Length Range
QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-4M13FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft). 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.
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 28AWG; the minimum bend radius is 40mm; the stated power consumption is 1.5W Per End; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).
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. This page’s fixed configuration is 4m (13ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.
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. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
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. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
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.
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. QSFP56 to QSFP56-200G-ACC-4M13FT refers here to 4m (13ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
