Specifications

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is ≤1.5W. 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.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-ACC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-ACC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-ACC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. 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 listed conductor specification is 28AWG; the minimum bend radius is 31.5mm; the stated power consumption is ≤1.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 31.5mm. 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, QSFP MSA, SFF-8679, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Breakout Port Mapping

The QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56 configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

The 5m (16ft) length gives QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-ACC-5M16FT 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.

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. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.

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. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.

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. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56-200G-ACC-5M16FT.

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. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.
