Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is 8x 100G PAM4 to Quad 2x 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

800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 4x 200G OSFP (RHS/Flat Top)-800G-DAC-2M7FT provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

Position Within the Length Range

800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 4x 200G OSFP (RHS/Flat Top)-800G-DAC-2M7FT is the longest of 4 verified length options in this family. Compared with 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 4x 200G OSFP (RHS/Flat Top)-800G-DAC-1.5M5FT at 1.5m (5ft), it provides 0.5m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

High-Density Rack Integration

In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 28AWG; the minimum bend radius is 31mm; the stated power consumption is 0.1W (800G End)0.1W (200G Per End); the jacket material is PVC.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is 0.1W (800G End)0.1W (200G 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 28AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 31mm. 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 4x 200G OSFP (RHS/Flat 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

Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.

Ordering Information

Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. Keep 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 4x 200G OSFP (RHS/Flat Top)-800G-DAC-2M7FT associated with 2m (7ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.
