SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FTSFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT 50G SFP56 Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 2m (7ft)
The SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT compatible cable combines 50G DAC connectivity with a defined 2m (7ft) pathway between SFP56 to SFP56 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 ＜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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 SFP56 to SFP56-50G-DAC-2M7FT associated with 2m (7ft) 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. 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. 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. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
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.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
What details assist a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.
