Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is 2x50G-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.

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 extended 10m (33ft) configuration gives DSFP to DSFP-100G-AOC-10M33FT a specific place in the family reach range. It should not be treated as a universal substitute for every shorter order code. Match it to a documented route, protect the integrated optical cable and both optical engines during handling and retain the part-number label for later maintenance. Within this family, DSFP to DSFP-100G-AOC-7M23FT is shorter at 7m (23ft), while DSFP to DSFP-100G-AOC-15M49FT is the next longer choice at 15m (49ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

Position Within the Length Range

DSFP to DSFP-100G-AOC-10M33FT occupies the middle of this family between DSFP to DSFP-100G-AOC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft) and DSFP to DSFP-100G-AOC-15M49FT at 15m (49ft). It adds 3m 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.

Rack Layout and Service Access

Plan the managed route before removing the connector protection. The cable should reach both ports without tension while leaving enough space to release the latches and service adjacent interfaces. Support the run through the intended managers, keep the connector boots clear of sharp edges and avoid storing excess length in a tight coil behind warm exhaust air. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is 3.5W; the jacket material is OFNP.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is 3.5W. 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 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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include DSFP MSA, IEEE 802.3cd, RoHS (Lead-free). Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

The completed cable is inspected at both ends, functionally tested and coiled with bend-safe slack. Protective packaging keeps the latches and boots from taking impact, while optional project labels can identify the two endpoint locations for easier field service. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility is verified as part of a complete installation check: connector inspection, host identification and an operating link. The physical cable is evaluated together with the expected OEM identity, because a connector that fits is not sufficient evidence that the host will accept and operate the assembly correctly. The check includes receive activity and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering Information

When requesting this assembly, include the exact part number and length together with the destination port types. For a rack installation, a simple port-to-port list helps us keep different lengths separate and allows any requested labels to correspond with the actual installation sequence. Keep DSFP to DSFP-100G-AOC-10M33FT associated with 10m (33ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

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. 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.
