NVIDIA MAM1Q00A-QSA28 Mellanox Cable Module

Overview

The NVIDIA MAM1Q00A-QSA28 is a Mellanox-branded cable module designed for high-speed network connectivity. It specifically bridges the gap between 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) QSFP28 interfaces and 25 GbE SFP28 interfaces. This module is essential for building flexible, high-performance network infrastructures in data centers or enterprise environments where different port speeds need to interconnect efficiently. Deploy this cable when you need to connect a 100GbE switch port to a 25GbE server NIC or vice versa, ensuring maximum bandwidth utilization and compatibility.

Compatibility

This cable module is engineered for use with NVIDIA/Mellanox networking equipment featuring QSFP28 (100GbE) and SFP28 (25GbE) ports. It is designed to work with systems that support the transition from 100Gb/s QSFP28 ports to 25Gb/s SFP28 ports, facilitating seamless integration within Mellanox-based network architectures.

Installation Notes

The MAM1Q00A-QSA28 requires careful handling during installation. Ensure the QSFP28 and SFP28 ports are clean before insertion. The module is designed for plug-and-play connectivity, but verify system compatibility and port status within your network management software post-installation. The module's dimensions are 6.50 x 2.00 x 0.75 inches.
