Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is NRZ. 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.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 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 Ethernet, 5G Front Haul. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP-DD MSA CMIS 4.0, IEEE 802.3bs 200G-SR8, IEEE 802.3by 25G-SR. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Breakout Port Mapping

The QSFP28-DD to Duplex-LC 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.

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 70m (230ft) 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. The next shorter verified assembly is QSFP28-DD to Duplex-LC-200G-AOC-50M164FT at 50m (164ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP28-DD to Duplex-LC-200G-AOC-70M230FT is the longest of 11 verified length options in this family. Compared with QSFP28-DD to Duplex-LC-200G-AOC-50M164FT at 50m (164ft), it provides 20m 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.

Mixed-Vendor Network Operation

A mixed-vendor link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether the two ends use the same compatibility requirement. The related brand links below help locate equivalent-length assemblies, while the physical form factor and lane arrangement must still agree across the complete path. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is ≤3.47W.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is ≤3.47W. 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.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Testing addresses the brand-specific identification as well as the operating link and available diagnostics. The same physical cable family can require a different host identity for another equipment vendor, so the intended platform should be supplied when a deployment combines multiple brands or unusual hardware revisions. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity and diagnostic indications.

Ordering Information

For mixed-vendor projects, identify the equipment at both ends along with the OEM reference, length and quantity. Order each compatibility version under its own part number. If spare assemblies are required, list them separately so labels and test records remain unambiguous. Keep QSFP28-DD to Duplex-LC-200G-AOC-70M230FT associated with 70m (230ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Both ends are inspected and the complete assembly is powered up for a functional check before packing. Connectors are protected individually and the cable is secured without tight bends. Optional labels can distinguish host brand, OEM reference and length for easier spares management. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.
