FORTINET FN-CABLE-QSFPDD-8SFP56-LB5 Transceiver Modules

FN-CABLE-QSFPDD-8SFP56-LB5 Overview

Fortinet's current transceiver data sheet lists FN-CABLE-QSFPDD-8SFP56-LB5 with this ordering description: four hundred GE QSFPDD breakout to eightx fifty GE SFPfifty six passive direct attach cable, two point fivem, zero°C to seventy°C, transceivers included, for systems with QSFPDD, SFPfifty six slots.

Verified Ordering Facts

• Data rate: four hundred GE.
• Reach or cable length: two point fivem.
• Media: Passive twinax copper.
• Operating temperature: zero°C to seventy°C.
• Transceiver inclusion: Included.

Selection Profile

FN-CABLE-QSFPDD-8SFP56-LB5 combines four hundred GE, two point fivem, Passive twinax copper, the documented connector, zero°C to seventy°C and a single orderable unit in the cited Fortinet ordering line. That profile is evaluated for nearby rack or appliance connections after measuring the routed path. Use the same documented Ethernet standard at both ends and do not substitute a visually similar module solely because the cage fits. The quote should preserve every listed attribute together because changing reach, media, connector, temperature class or package quantity creates a different orderable requirement.

Model-Specific Distinction

This breakout converts one four-hundred-gigabit QSFP-DD host connection into eight fifty-gigabit SFP fifty-six branches. Confirm all eight downstream ports, lane ordering and cable routing; it is not the two-branch fan-out intended for two-hundred-gigabit QSFP endpoints.

Compatibility and Buying Guide

Treat FN-CABLE-QSFPDD-8SFP56-LB5 as a cable order, not as a loose optical module. Confirm both endpoint cages, required installed length, bend routing and whether the official ordering description says transceivers are included. A cable family or pack suffix must match the bill of materials exactly.

Use the verified ordering description above as the technical baseline.

Condition, Warranty and Shipping

Quoted as new Fortinet equipment. Confirm factory packaging, country of use, lead time, warranty route and export requirements. Compatibility remains dependent on the exact Fortinet host platform and software support matrix.
