Product Description
Product Overview
The Mellanox MFP7E20-N010 is a passive optical splitter cable that converts a twin-port OSFP 800G transceiver interface into two independent 200G/400G links. Using 8 active multimode fibers (50/125µm) in an MPO-12/APC to dual MPO-12/APC breakout configuration, it provides a cost-efficient, low-loss solution for connecting top-of-rack switches to ConnectX-7 adapters and BlueField-3 DPUs. The angled physical contact (APC) polish minimizes back reflections, ensuring stable operation in high-speed PAM4 links.
Key Features
- Breakout capability: 1× MPO-12/APC to 2× MPO-12/APC for dual 200G/400G outputs
- Multimode fiber: 50/125µm OM3 (≤30m) / OM4 (≤50m) with Aqua LSZH jacket
- Type-B crossover wiring: Directly mates TX to RX for straight-through transceiver pairing
- Low insertion loss: ≤0.35 dB + 0.0004×L (dB) per connector end face
- APC polish (8°): Reduces optical back reflection to ≥35 dB return loss
- Push-pull latching: Quick release, easy installation in dense ports
- Compliance: Telcordia GR-1435, IEC 61754-7, RoHS, Class 1 laser safety
- Protocol support: InfiniBand HDR, 200G/400G Ethernet, NVLink
Technology & Design
The MFP7E20-N010 leverages NVIDIA's precision optical engineering. The MPO-12/APC connectors feature alignment holes that mate with transceiver guide pins, ensuring exact fiber alignment. The 8-degree angled polish eliminates Fresnel reflections that can cause signal distortion in PAM4 modulation. Each cable is factory-tested for insertion loss, return loss, and polarity. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket reduces toxic emissions in fire scenarios, making it suitable for data center environments.

- 400G to 2×200G breakout: Use with twin-port OSFP DR8 transceivers to split into two 200G links for dual servers
- High-performance computing (HPC): Low-latency interconnection for AI training clusters and distributed storage
- Data center inter-rack: Short-reach links (up to 50m) with patch panel integration

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between MFP7E20-N010 and a standard MPO-12 cable?
A: It is a 1-to-2 splitter cable with Type-B crossover, specifically designed to split a twin-port OSFP 800G transceiver into two 200G/400G links. Standard MPO cables are typically straight-through.
Q: Can I use this cable with 100G or 40G transceivers?
A: No, it is optimized for 200G/400G PAM4 signaling. It may not meet the insertion loss requirements for legacy NRZ optics.
Q: What is the maximum supported distance?
A: 50 meters over OM4 fiber (with two patch panel junctions). For OM3, the limit is 30 meters.
Q: Is the cable compatible with QSFP-DD or SFP-DD?
A: It interfaces with MPO-12/APC transceivers; QSFP-DD and SFP-DD typically use different connectors (e.g., MPO-16 or LC). Please verify your transceiver type.
Handling Precautions
- Keep dust caps on connectors until the moment of installation to prevent contamination
- Always clean both the cable ferrule and transceiver receptacle with an approved optical cleaner before mating
- Do not bend the cable tighter than the 30 mm minimum radius
- Avoid exposure to liquids or solvents; LSZH jacket is not chemical-resistant to all substances
- Observe standard ESD precautions during handling (though the cable is passive, it mates to ESD-sensitive transceivers)
