Advanced Technology Implementation
This innovative passive fiber cable alternative employs cutting-edge 4×50Gb/s PAM4 modulation technology, delivering exceptional signal integrity across all transmission channels. The solution fully complies with InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) HDR standards and incorporates SFF-8665 and SFF-8636 specifications for seamless integration and comprehensive management via I²C interface, providing a robust alternative to traditional fiber optic systems.
Operational Methodology
The MCP7H50-H002R26 functions as an intelligent passive electrical bridge, efficiently routing high-speed signals from a single QSFP56 connector (supporting 200G HDR) to two independent QSFP56 connectors (each supporting 100G HDR100). This sophisticated passive fiber cable replacement maintains exceptional signal integrity through precision impedance-matched copper conductors (100Ω characteristic impedance) and advanced shielding technologies that effectively minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable data transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions
What maximum distance does this DAC solution support?
The MCP7H50-H002R26 is engineered for short-reach applications up to 3 meters, making it particularly suitable for rack-scale and adjacent-rack connectivity in data center environments.
Is this cable compatible with non-Mellanox equipment?
While optimized for Mellanox systems, this passive fiber cable alternative adheres to industry standards and is generally compatible with other vendors' equipment supporting InfiniBand HDR and compatible QSFP56 interfaces.
What maintenance is required for these cables?
As a passive solution, the MCP7H50-H002R26 requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic visual inspection for physical damage and ensuring connectors remain clean and free of debris.
Installation Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Maintain minimum bend radius of 34mm for single bends and 68mm for repeated bends
- Avoid sharp bends, particularly near connector interfaces where stress is concentrated
- Implement proper ESD precautions during handling and installation procedures
- Verify compatibility with host system firmware and driver versions before deployment
- Operate strictly within specified temperature (0°C to 70°C) and humidity (5% to 85%) ranges
- Regularly inspect connectors for debris or damage before installation and during maintenance cycles
