Description

Lenovo 4Z57A72562 Splitter Cable

Overview

The Lenovo 4Z57A72562 is a 100Gb QSFP56 splitter cable designed to break out a single 100Gb HDR IB port into two 100Gb HDR100 connections. This cable is essential for high-performance computing and networking environments where maximizing port utilization is critical, allowing a single high-density port to serve multiple devices or network segments. It supports specific Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx adapters and ThinkSystem servers.

Compatibility

This splitter cable is specifically designed for use with Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx 100GbE QSFP56 adapters, including the 4XC7A08248 (PCIe) and 4XC7A99190 (OCP) models. It is intended for deployment within Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, such as the SR950, when equipped with these compatible network adapters. Verify adapter and server compatibility before purchase.

Installation Notes

The 4Z57A72562 cable features QSFP56 connectors on one end, splitting into two QSFP56 connectors on the other. Ensure proper seating of all connectors to avoid signal loss. This cable is designed for specific Mellanox HDR IB to HDR100 breakout scenarios; it is not a general-purpose network cable. Maximum cable lengths are specified by the Mellanox standard for HDR100 connections.
