Product Description

Mellanox MCP1600-E001E30 100Gb/s QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable
Product Overview

The Mellanox MCP1600-E001E30 is a premium passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) interconnect cable engineered for 100 Gigabit per second data transmission. This essential network hardware component provides a reliable, low-latency link for high-performance computing and data center environments, acting as a cost-optimal substitute for optical modules over very short distances.

Specifically designed for rack-level connectivity, this cable is a fundamental accessory for any high-speed network card setup requiring dependable port-to-port communication. This model from the proven mq9700 family offers a 1-meter reach utilizing high-quality 30 American Wire Gauge (AWG) conductors.

Key Characteristics
  • Ultra-High Bandwidth: Delivers an aggregate bandwidth of 100 Gb/s through four independent 25 Gb/s channels
  • Minimal Power Draw: Passive operation ensures power consumption remains below 0.1 Watt
  • Enhanced Safety Design: Constructed with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material
  • Live Insertion Capable: Hot-pluggable design allows for installation without disrupting network services
  • Superior Reliability: Achieves a Bit Error Rate (BER) superior to 1x10-15
  • Intelligent Management: Host-readable EEPROM stores vital product information
Technology & Standards Compliance

The cable employs sophisticated passive twin-axial copper technology and is manufactured in full compliance with critical industry specifications including SFF-8665 for the QSFP28 form factor and SFF-8636 for management interface. It also conforms to RoHS directives for environmental responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use this cable for Ethernet instead of InfiniBand?
Yes. While optimized for InfiniBand EDR, the QSFP28 DAC cable is protocol-agnostic at the physical layer and is commonly used for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) applications where switch and network card compatibility is confirmed.
Q2: What is the difference between 30AWG and 26AWG in this series?
AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates conductor thickness. A lower number means a thicker wire (26AWG is thicker than 30AWG). Thicker 26AWG cables offer lower signal loss over distance, while slimmer 30AWG cables provide greater flexibility for tight spaces within a rack.
Q3: Is there a maximum number of these cables I can use per switch?
The limit is governed by the switch's power budget and thermal design for its QSFP28 ports. Since passive DAC cables draw minimal power, they typically allow for the highest possible port density compared to active optical modules.
Important Precautions
  • Bending Limits: Adhere to minimum bend radius specifications: 35.5mm for single bends and 71mm for repeated bends
  • Environmental Conditions: Operate within specified temperature (0°C to 70°C) and humidity (5% to 85% non-condensing) ranges
  • Physical Handling: Avoid crushing, pinching, or applying excessive tensile load
  • System Compatibility: Verify compatibility with your equipment's hardware compatibility list
  • Static Electricity Protection: Use ESD protection when handling connectors
