Applications
The 200G QSFP56 4x 50G PAM4 to 4x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC is a 200G active optical cable for QSFP56 to SFP56 connections in 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is produced in 12 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 70m (230ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with industry MSA standards. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP56 to SFP56 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
The factory part number is QSFP-200G-4SAO. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft), 50m (164ft) and 70m (230ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory.
Reliability Control
From incoming component inspection to final burn-in, quality is controlled at each step of production. Finished units are verified on real networking equipment in our compatibility lab, and test records are kept per batch so that any field question can be traced back quickly.
How We Pack
Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
