Description
The NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1650-H00AE30 is a 0.5-meter passive direct attach copper cable for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR. It is well suited to very short in-rack links. The QSFP56 cable carries eight high-speed copper pairs, each running at up to 50Gb/s, using 4x 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation. Each QSFP56 port has an EEPROM the host system can read.
The cable is IBTA InfiniBand HDR compliant. Bit error rate is better than 1E-15 with Mellanox InfiniBand HDR systems. It is hot-pluggable, draws a maximum of 0.1W, and runs from a single 3.3V supply. It has an LSZH jacket and a black pull tab, and is RoHS compliant.
