NVIDIA MCP1650-H01AE30 MELLANOX Passive Copper Cable

Overview

The NVIDIA MCP1650-H01AE30 is a 1.5-meter passive copper cable designed for high-bandwidth interconnects. It features QSFP56 connectors on both ends, enabling direct, short-reach connections in dense computing environments. This cable is specified for InfiniBand HDR (High Data Rate) applications, supporting data transfer speeds up to 200 GB/s. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material enhances safety in enclosed spaces by minimizing toxic fumes and smoke when exposed to fire, making it suitable for data centers and enterprise networking closets.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for systems utilizing QSFP56 ports that support 200 GB/s data rates, commonly found in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, AI/ML training systems, and high-speed network switches. It is compatible with Mellanox networking equipment and other vendors' QSFP56 interfaces requiring passive copper direct-attach cables for InfiniBand HDR or Ethernet applications.

Installation Notes

As a passive copper cable, the MCP1650-H01AE30 requires no external power. Its length of 1.5 meters is ideal for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, minimizing signal degradation inherent in longer passive runs. Ensure QSFP56 ports are clean before insertion. The cable's dimensions (11.20 x 10.30 x 0.40 inches) and weight (0.40 lb) facilitate easy routing within server racks.
