Product Description
Mellanox MAM1Q00A-QSA DynamiX QSFP+ to SFP+ Adapter
High-Performance Network Interface Conversion
The Mellanox DynamiX MAM1Q00A-QSA adapter provides seamless connectivity between quad-lane QSFP+ ports and single-lane SFP+ transceivers or cables. This innovative network adapter enables cost-effective integration of different network interface technologies while maintaining optimal performance and reliability.
Multi-Vendor Compatibility
Works with all major optical module and direct attach copper cable vendors
Standards Compliant
Full compliance with QSFP+ MSA SFF-8436 and SFP+ MSA SFF-8418/8419
Product Characteristics
Physical Specifications
- QSFP+ form factor with SFP+ receptacle
- Secure latching mechanism for reliable connections
- Matched impedance design (90-110Ω characteristic impedance)
- RoHS compliant construction
- Low insertion loss architecture
Performance Features
- Vendor-agnostic interoperability
- Direct path to SFP unit memory
- SFF-8636 compliant I²C management interface
- Supports 10GbE SFP+ and 1GbE SFP transceivers
- Registered US patent #7934,959 technology
Technical Standards & Protocols
The MAM1Q00A-QSA network adapter implements industry-standard protocols to ensure broad compatibility:
- QSFP+ MSA SFF-8436 - Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable specification compliance
- SFP+ MSA SFF-8418/8419 - Small Form-factor Pluggable multi-source agreement
- SFF-8636 - Management interface specification for reading SFP transceiver data
- I²C Management Interface - Standard communication protocol for device management
- RoHS Compliance - Meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives
Operational Principle
The DynamiX QSA adapter functions as a physical and electrical interface converter between different form factors. The adapter connects lane 1 of the QSFP+ interface directly to the SFP+ receptacle, while the three remaining lanes on the QSFP+ connector remain unconnected. This intelligent network card solution maintains signal integrity through matched impedance design and minimal insertion loss.
The adapter provides direct access to the connected SFP transceiver's memory via the I²C management interface, enabling full compatibility with existing management systems and network interface cards. This approach ensures that the connected SFP+ transceiver or cable operates as if directly connected to a native SFP+ port.
Application Scenarios
Data Center Migration
Connect 40GbE switch QSFP+ ports to 10GbE server NIC SFP+ ports during infrastructure upgrades, providing a flexible network card transition path.
Multi-Vendor Integration
Enable connectivity between equipment from different manufacturers where port types mismatch, serving as a universal network adapter solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of transceivers are compatible with the MAM1Q00A-QSA?
The adapter supports both 10GbE SFP+ and 1GbE SFP transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver Multi-source Agreement (MSA). It is vendor-agnostic and works with all major optical module manufacturers.
Can this adapter be used with direct attach copper cables?
Yes, the MAM1Q00A-QSA supports both optical transceivers and direct attach copper (DAC) cables with SFP+ connectors, making it a versatile network card accessory for various connectivity requirements.
What is the difference between standard and extended temperature models?
The standard MAM1Q00A-QSA operates from 0°C to 70°C, while the MAM1Q00A-QSA_E extended temperature version supports -10°C to 85°C, making it suitable for industrial applications and harsh environments.
Does the adapter require any special drivers or configuration?
No, the adapter is completely passive and requires no drivers or configuration. It provides a physical and electrical interface conversion that is transparent to the connected equipment.
Installation & Operational Guidelines
Important Considerations
- Ensure the SFP+/SFP mating paddle card dimension A10 (length of component/solder mask keep-out area) is greater than 6.0mm to prevent damage during insertion
- Do not attempt to insert SFP transceivers upside down as this may damage the adapter receptacle
- Verify compatibility with specific switch and network interface card models before deployment
- Maintain operating conditions within specified temperature and humidity ranges
- Use appropriate ESD precautions during installation and handling
- For extended temperature applications, select the MAM1Q00A-QSA_E variant specifically designed for harsh environments
