Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is QSFP112-4x 100G-PAM4QSFP-DD-8x 50G-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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP112 MSA, QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE802.3ck, IEEE802.3bs, CMIS 5.1. 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

Longer assemblies require disciplined cable dressing. For QSFP112 to QSFP-DD-400G-AOC-10M33FT at 10m (33ft), use the intended managers rather than a diagonal route across the rack, and leave enough space to release each connector. Any service allowance should be loose and supported, with the integrated optical cable and both optical engines protected throughout the path. Within this family, QSFP112 to QSFP-DD-400G-AOC-7M23FT is shorter at 7m (23ft), while QSFP112 to QSFP-DD-400G-AOC-15M49FT is the next longer choice at 15m (49ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP112 to QSFP-DD-400G-AOC-10M33FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP112 to QSFP-DD-400G-AOC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft) and QSFP112 to QSFP-DD-400G-AOC-15M49FT at 15m (49ft). It adds 3m 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.

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 stated power consumption is 10W (QSFP112 End) 14W (QSFP-DD End); the jacket material is OFNP.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is 10W (QSFP112 End) 14W (QSFP-DD 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 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.

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

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 QSFP112 to QSFP-DD-400G-AOC-10M33FT associated with 10m (33ft) 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. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
