Lenovo 00MP536 2M Mellanox EDR InfiniBand Passive Copper QSFP28 Cable

Overview

The 00MP536 is a 2-meter passive copper direct-attach cable (DAC) with QSFP28 connectors, designed for EDR InfiniBand fabric interconnects in high-performance computing and data center environments. Passive copper construction means no active signal conditioning — the cable draws no power from the port and introduces minimal latency, making it the right choice for short rack-to-rack or within-rack HPC switch-to-node runs where distance permits. At 2 meters, it covers most same-rack and adjacent-rack scenarios without stepping up to an active optical solution.

Compatibility

Paired with Lenovo ThinkSystem and NeXtScale platforms that carry Mellanox EDR InfiniBand HCA and switch ports — including ThinkSystem SD530, SN2100, and related HPC fabric components supporting QSFP28 EDR (100Gb/s InfiniBand) interfaces. Verify your HCA and switch port specification matches EDR QSFP28 before ordering; HDR (200Gb/s) and FDR (56Gb/s) ports use different transceiver standards and are not electrically compatible with this cable. Country of origin is Mexico (MX); UNSPSC commodity code 26121609.
