SFP-DD to SFP-DD-100G-AOC-1M3FT 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)
For a direct equipment connection requiring Generic SFP-DD to SFP-DD-100G-AOC-1M3FT, this page supplies the 1m (3ft) version with SFP-DD to SFP-DD. The cable supports 100G operation and eliminates a separate module-and-patch-cord assembly. Installation, maintenance and spare-cable identification are addressed alongside the full technical details.

Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 2x 50G-PAM4 to 2x 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 SFP-DD MSA, SFP-DD MIS. 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
At 1m (3ft), SFP-DD to SFP-DD-100G-AOC-1M3FT is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.
Position Within the Length Range
SFP-DD to SFP-DD-100G-AOC-1M3FT is the shortest of 12 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 SFP-DD to SFP-DD-100G-AOC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft), adding 1m 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 minimum bend radius is 60mm; the stated power consumption is ≤3.5W.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is ≤3.5W. 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.
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses minimum bend radius 60mm. 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. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
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, receive activity 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.
What details assist a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.
How should an unused assembly be stored?
Protect both connector ends, keep the cable in a loose bend-safe coil and retain its part-number label so the length and compatibility identity remain traceable.
Can different brands be connected with the same assembly?
Only where both hosts explicitly support the complete interface and compatibility arrangement. Document each end and select the appropriate brand-specific product when required.
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. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to SFP-DD to SFP-DD-100G-AOC-1M3FT.
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.
