The OSFPFL-200G-QAO-1M3FT compatible assembly is intended for Generic equipment that requires a 200G direct-attached connection. This version is specifically 1m (3ft), with OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) to QSFP56 and its own order reference. Exact length pages and equivalent brand references are linked to make multi-product procurement easier to verify.

Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is OSFP-4x 50G-PAM4QSFP56-4x 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.
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), OSFPFL-200G-QAO-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
OSFPFL-200G-QAO-1M3FT is the shortest of 10 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 OSFPFL-200G-QAO-2M7FT at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.
Procurement and Port-Mapping Review
A useful purchase order should identify the host platform, the expected OEM code and the exact cable length as separate pieces of information. This prevents a physically similar assembly from being substituted when the port identification or reach is different. For mixed-length installations, prepare one order line per part number and reconcile each delivered cable with its intended pair of ports. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is 10W (OSFP-FL End)5.5W (QSFP56 End); the jacket material is OFNP.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 10W (OSFP-FL End)5.5W (QSFP56 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.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE802.3cd, IEEE 802.3bs, OSFP MSA, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing
Our procurement-oriented compatibility check begins with the OEM reference and ends with a live host link. We record the physical length separately from the identification configuration, so the cable supplied for this page remains the stated version rather than a generic length substitute. Where supported by the host, receive activity and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
Ordering Information
For a clear bill of materials, quote the OEM reference, HT part number, length and quantity on the same line. Add the switch or server model and software release when a pre-order review is required; project labels can repeat those details for receiving and installation teams. Keep OSFPFL-200G-QAO-1M3FT associated with 1m (3ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Before packing, the assembly is checked for connector condition, identification and link operation. Cables for multi-line orders can be labelled and grouped by part number, making it easier to match each length to the procurement record without opening every protective bag. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
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.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
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.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. 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.
