The OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-AEC-4M13FT compatible AEC cable provides 800G connectivity for Generic equipment over a fixed 4m (13ft) assembly. Both ends use the stated OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) arrangement. It is inspected and functionally checked before packing, with handling guidance designed to protect the connectors during installation and later service.

Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 8x100G-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.
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 28AWG; the minimum bend radius is 53mm; the stated power consumption is ≤12W; the jacket material is PET.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is ≤12W. 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 28AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 53mm. 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 5.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
The 4m (13ft) length gives OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-AEC-4M13FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the AEC specification and host support must still match the intended link.
Position Within the Length Range
OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-AEC-4M13FT occupies the middle of this family between OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-AEC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-AEC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft). 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.
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. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
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. Where supported by the host, link stability and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
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. OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-AEC-4M13FT refers here to 4m (13ft). 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 OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)-800G-AEC-4M13FT associated with 4m (13ft) 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.
