Product Description
NVIDIA MFP7E10-N050 MPO-12/APC Optical Cable
50-meter MPO-12/APC to MPO-12/APC multimode fiber cable, Type-B crossover, OM4 (50/125 μm). Designed for 400G/800G InfiniBand and Ethernet links between twin-port OSFP, single-port OSFP, and QSFP112 transceivers.
Product Overview
The NVIDIA MFP7E10-Nxxx series passive optical cable is engineered for high-density data center interconnects. The MFP7E10-N050 (50m) uses 8 active fibers within a 12-fiber MPO‑12/APC connector, with 4 fibers serving as strength members. The 8‑degree angled polish (APC) minimizes back reflections, ensuring signal integrity for high-speed protocols.
This cable is a Type-B crossover assembly, aligning transmit channel 1 at one end to receive channel 12 at the opposite end—critical for direct transceiver pairing without additional polarity management. It supports both InfiniBand (NDR) and Ethernet (400GbE/800GbE) environments.
Key Features
Optical & Physical
- 50/125 μm OM4 multimode fiber (length >30 m)
- MPO‑12/APC female connectors, green shell
- 8 active fibers / 4 inactive (strength members)
- Type-B crossover polarity
- Aqua LSZH / OFNR jacket, 3.0 ±0.2 mm diameter
Performance & Compliance
- Insertion loss ≤ 0.35 + 0.0004 × L (dB) ; for 50m: ≤ 0.370 dB
- Return loss ≥ 35 dB
- Min bending radius: 30 mm (anywhere on cable)
- Operating temp: 0 °C to 70 °C
- Telcordia GR‑1435, IEC 61754‑7, ANSI/TIA‑604‑5
Technology
The APC (Angled Physical Contact) endface with an 8‑degree polish is critical for high‑speed optical links: it deflects internal back reflections away from the transceiver laser, reducing signal distortion and bit errors. The cable is passive and contains no active electronics, ensuring low latency and high reliability.
NVIDIA specifies the MFP7E10‑Nxxx for links that include up to two optical patch panels (total 4 connector junctions) while maintaining the 50‑meter maximum reach—the MFP7E10‑N050 is the maximum length supported under these conditions.
Typical Deployments
- Switch‑to‑Switch: Linking twin‑port OSFP 800G switches in spine‑leaf fabrics over longer distances.
- Switch‑to‑Adapter: Connecting OSFP switches to ConnectX‑7 or BlueField‑3 DPUs using OSFP or QSFP112 transceivers.
- 400G/800G breakout: Used with twin‑port OSFP transceivers to support two 4‑channel 400G links.
- AI and HPC clusters requiring low‑latency, high‑bandwidth GPU‑to‑GPU connectivity across racks.
Compatibility
The MFP7E10‑N050 is compatible with NVIDIA transceivers including:
- Twin‑port OSFP: MMA4Z00‑NS (800G DR8) for InfiniBand/Ethernet switches
- Single‑port OSFP: MMA4Z00‑NS400 (400G) for ConnectX‑7 adapters
- QSFP112: MMA1Z00‑NS400 (400G) for BlueField‑3 DPUs
- Also supports 400GbE/NDR InfiniBand and NVLink protocols.
Important: MPO‑12/APC connectors are not compatible with MPO‑12/UPC (blue shell) connectors. Do not mix with 100G/200G transceivers that use UPC polish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable compatible with QSFP112 transceivers?
Yes, when used with the appropriate NVIDIA QSFP112 400G transceiver (e.g., MMA1Z00‑NS400) on the adapter side.
Can I use this with MPO‑12/UPC connectors?
No. MPO‑12/APC (green shell) is not mechanically or optically compatible with MPO‑12/UPC (blue shell). Using them together can damage the connector endfaces.
Is 50m the maximum reach for this cable?
Yes, per NVIDIA specifications, the MFP7E10‑N050 is the longest variant in this series, supporting up to 50m total link length when including up to two optical patch panels (4 connector junctions).
Is the cable ESD sensitive?
No, the cable has no conductive parts. However, standard ESD precautions apply when handling transceivers.
Handling Precautions
- Keep dust caps on connectors until installation to prevent contamination.
- Clean both cable and transceiver connectors using an optical connector cleaner before mating.
- Avoid bending the cable below the 30 mm bend radius.
- Do not expose to liquids or operate outside the rated temperature range.
- Store between ‑40 °C and 85 °C when not in use.
