This maximum reach interconnect solution is built on the highest industry standards to ensure performance integrity across extended distances.

• Fiber Standard: Premium OM4 Multimode Fiber (IEC 60793-2-10) optimized for 400G extended reach applications.
• Connector Standard: MPO per IEC 61754-7 and ANSI/TIA-604-5 for consistent mechanical performance.
• Polish Technology: Angled Physical Contact (APC) essential for maintaining signal quality at maximum distance.
• Safety & Compliance: Full compliance with Telcordia GR-1435, Laser Class 1 (IEC 60825), CB, cTUVus, CE certifications.

This extended-length passive fiber optic cable serves as an efficient optical highway for high-speed data transmission across maximum distances. Each MPO connector houses 12 fiber positions, with 8 actively utilized for bidirectional communication (4 transmit and 4 receive lanes). Configured as a Type-B cable, it performs a precise internal crossover where optical signals from Tx lanes 1-4 at the originating end connect to Rx lanes 12-9 at the terminating end. This exact alignment ensures optimal coupling between transmitters and receivers. The 8° angled polish of the APC connectors is particularly critical at 400G/NDR speeds over 50 meters, as it effectively scatters reflected light away from the fiber core, preserving signal clarity and minimizing bit error rates—an essential characteristic for reliable long reach cable performance.

• Data Center Cross-Aisle Connectivity: Connecting equipment racks across different data center aisles.
• Extended Reach HPC/Clusters: Forming maximum-distance low-latency links in NDR InfiniBand fabrics for distributed computing.
• Campus-Style Data Center Links: Connecting adjacent data center rooms or pods within the same facility.
• Maximum Distance Switch-to-Switch Backbone: Establishing 400G spine-leaf connections at the outer limits of passive multimode reach.
• Storage-to-Compute Extended Connections: Linking remote storage arrays to compute clusters within large data center footprints.

Note: This is the maximum length variant in the MFP7E10 series. Shorter lengths (3m-40m) are available for different reach requirements.

• Maximum Passive Reach Solution: Provides the longest possible connection using passive OM4 multimode fiber for 400G/NDR, eliminating the need for active components in many scenarios.
• NVIDIA End-to-End Validation: Unlike generic MPO cables, this 50-meter variant is specifically tested and validated within NVIDIA's complete ecosystem for guaranteed performance at maximum distance.
• Cost-Effective Long-Reach Alternative: Offers a more economical solution compared to active optical cables or single-mode conversions for distances up to 50 meters.
• Superior Optical Consistency: Rigorous manufacturing and testing processes ensure uniform performance characteristics across the entire cable length, critical for maintaining link margin.

Q1: Is the MFP7E10-N050 truly capable of supporting 400G at 50 meters?
A: Yes. This 50m fiber cable is specifically engineered and tested to support 400GbE and NDR 400Gb/s InfiniBand across the full 50-meter distance when used with compliant OM4 multimode fiber and NVIDIA transceivers.

Q2: What happens if I need slightly more than 50 meters?
A: For distances beyond 50 meters, alternative solutions such as active optical cables (AOCs) or single-mode fiber with appropriate transceivers should be considered. The 50-meter limit is based on the optical power budget of passive multimode solutions at 400G speeds.

Q3: Are there special handling requirements for a 50-meter fiber cable?
A: Yes. This long reach cable requires careful handling. Use cable reels for deployment, avoid twisting or kinking, maintain minimum bend radius (30mm), and plan the route meticulously to prevent stress points. Professional installation is recommended.

Q4: Can I use this cable for 200G or 100G applications over 50 meters?
A: Absolutely. The cable is fully backward compatible and will typically provide additional link margin at lower data rates (200G/100G), making it highly reliable for those applications at the maximum distance.

Q5: How is link performance verified for such long cables?
A: Each MFP7E10-N050 undergoes comprehensive factory testing including end-to-end insertion loss measurement for all 8 active fibers, return loss verification, and continuity testing to ensure it meets NVIDIA's stringent performance specifications before shipment.

• Distance Verification: Confirm your link distance does not exceed 50 meters to ensure reliable operation within the optical power budget.
• Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the length and handling complexity, professional installation is advised for optimal deployment.
• Cable Routing Planning: Plan the complete cable route before installation. Use appropriate cable trays, managers, and strain relief. Avoid parallel runs with power cables where possible.
• Bend Radius Management: Strictly maintain the minimum 30mm bend radius throughout the entire cable path, especially at corners and entry/exit points.
• Connector Protection: Keep dust caps on until ready for installation. Clean both cable and transceiver connectors with certified tools before mating, particularly important for long cables where signal margin is critical.
• Testing & Certification: After installation, perform link insertion loss testing to verify the complete channel meets transceiver requirements.
