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.
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 minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 56G InfiniBand , 4x FDR, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating 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
A 15m (49ft) run can remain tidy when its pathway and service allowance are planned together. Keep the integrated optical cable and both optical engines away from tight cable-tie pressure, verify bend control at changes of direction and ensure that neither port supports the assembly’s weight. Record the exact order code after acceptance. Within this family, QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-10M33FT is shorter at 10m (33ft), while QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-20M66FT is the next longer choice at 20m (66ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.
Position Within the Length Range
QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-15M49FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-10M33FT at 10m (33ft) and QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-20M66FT at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m 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.
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. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity 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. QSFP+ to QSFP+-High-Speed-AOC-15M49FT refers here to 15m (49ft). 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. This page’s fixed configuration is 15m (49ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.
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.
