Product Overview
The NVIDIA MFP7E10-Nxxx series is a passive multimode fiber cable assembly with MPO-12/APC connectors. The MFP7E10-N050 50-meter variant provides a direct, low-loss physical link between twin-port OSFP 800G transceivers, single-port OSFP 400G, and QSFP112 400G transceivers.
With an 8-degree angled polish, the APC interface minimizes back reflections (≥35 dB return loss) to preserve signal integrity in high-speed PAM4 links. The cable is fully compliant with Telcordia GR-1435 and IEC 61754-7, and is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure plug-and-play reliability.

Technology & Design
The MFP7E10-N050 utilizes 50/125 μm multimode OM4 fiber optimized for lengths >30 m. The MPO connector features alignment holes that mate with transceiver alignment pins for precise optical coupling.
The 8-degree APC end-face reduces reflectance, while the crossover (Type B) pinout ensures that the transmit laser on lane 1 of one end aligns with the receiver on lane 12 of the opposite end - eliminating the need for a separate polarity adapter.
The cable is terminated with low-loss connectors (IL ≤0.35 + 0.0004×L dB) and is 100% factory-tested for insertion loss, return loss, and fiber continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MPO-12/APC and MPO-12/UPC?
APC (angled polish) has an 8-degree angle that reduces back reflections, critical for high-speed PAM4 signals. UPC (ultra-flat polish) is typically used for lower-speed links. They are not mechanically compatible.
Can I use this cable with 100G transceivers?
While the cable supports 8 fibers, it is optimized for 400G/800G applications. For 100G (4x25G-NRZ) MPO-12/UPC cables are commonly used; please verify compatibility with your transceiver.
What is the maximum recommended link distance for the N050?
50 meters with two patch panels and four total connector junctions. For direct attach without patch panels, typical reach is up to 40 meters depending on link budget.
Does the cable support NVLink?
Yes, the MFP7E10-Nxxx series is designed to support NVLink, InfiniBand, and Ethernet protocols, as per NVIDIA's interoperability guidelines.
Handling Precautions
- Keep protective dust caps on until installation to prevent contamination
- Always clean both the cable and transceiver connectors with optical-grade cleaners before mating
- Avoid bending the cable below the 30 mm minimum bend radius
- Do not pull on the connectors; use the pull-tab or cable jacket for strain relief
- Store in a dry, clean environment within -40 °C to 85 °C storage temperature
Buyer Checklist
- Verify transceiver connector type (MPO-12/APC female)
- Confirm link length - 50 m variant (MFP7E10-N050)
- Check fiber type - OM4 multimode (for >30 m)
- Ensure polarity - Type-B crossover required for direct attach
- Evaluate cable routing and bend radius clearance
- Confirm transceiver compatibility (OSFP/QSFP112)
