Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 8x 100G PAM4 to Dual 4x 100G 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.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
The 0.5m (2ft) length is suited to closely aligned ports where excessive slack would obstruct airflow or complicate dressing. Measure the actual port-to-port path before choosing 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-DAC-0.5M2FT; even a short assembly must retain the specified bend radius and should never be pulled tight behind the equipment.
Position Within the Length Range
800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-DAC-0.5M2FT is the shortest of 3 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-DAC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft), adding 0.5m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.
Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the route and both connectors before installation, then support the cable without pulling on either connector housing. During maintenance, release the latch properly rather than using the cable as a handle. Keep protection on unused ends, and if the assembly is removed for later use, coil it loosely and record its part number so the same length can be returned to service. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 30AWG; the minimum bend radius is 34.5mm; the stated power consumption is 0.1W (800G End)0.1W (400G Per End); the jacket material is PVC.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 0.1W (800G End)0.1W (400G 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 30AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 34.5mm. 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 OSFP MSA, IEEE 802.3ck, CMIS v4.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Breakout Port Mapping
The 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) 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.
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.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
The cable and both connectors are inspected before a functional link test. Connector protection and bend-safe packing reduce handling damage during transport and storage. Customer or site labels can be added for field inventories, with different lengths separated to simplify issue and return of spare assemblies. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing
A field-ready cable needs both correct identification and a stable operating link. Our pre-packing check therefore includes the connectors, host recognition and link behavior. For equipment with uncertain revision history, providing the host model and software release helps identify compatibility requirements before the assembly reaches the installation site. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-DAC-0.5M2FT refers here to 0.5m (2ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
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.
Ordering Information
Request the cable by its exact part number and length, and state the equipment model if compatibility confirmation is needed. Site orders can list quantities by rack or installation team. Any requested label should retain the part number so a removed or spare cable can still be identified accurately. Keep 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-DAC-0.5M2FT associated with 0.5m (2ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
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.
