100GbE to 2x50GbE (QSFP28 to 2xQSFP28) Direct Attach Copper Splitter Cable

Mellanox MCP7H00-G0xxxxxxx DAC splitter cables are a high speed, cost effective 100GbE to 2x 50GbE Ethernet connectivity solution, designed to meet the growing needs for higher bandwidth in data centers. MCP7H00 cables are compliant with SFF-8665 QSFP28 specifications and provide connectivity between systems with a QSFP28 port on one end and two QSFP28 ports on the other.

The cable connects the data signals from each of the two dual copper pairs on the single QSFP28 (pair 1&2, 3&4) end to the dual copper pair of each of the QSFP28 (pair 1&2) ends on the multiport side. Each QSFP28 port comprises an EEPROM providing product information, which can be read by the host system. MCP7H00-G0xxxxxxx cables up to 2m support IEEE 802.3by CA-25G-N (Cable Assembly No-FEC) with low latency. Cables with 4m length support IEEE 802.3by CA-25G-L (Cable Assembly Long) with RS-FEC (Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction) enabled. For 2.5m and 3m cables there are two versions supporting either CA-25G-N or CA-25G-L.

Mellanox's unique quality passive copper cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for short distance interconnects. It enables higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost and reduced power requirement in the data centers.

Rigorous cable production testing ensures best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance and durability.
