Overview
Product overview
The Mellanox MCP1600-E003E26 is a high-performance passive copper cable designed for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR (High Data Rate) applications. Part of the LinkX series, this QSFP56 direct attach cable integrates eight high-speed copper pairs operating at 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation per lane, delivering aggregate bandwidth of 200Gb/s. The assembly includes an EEPROM with product configuration data accessible via SFF-8636 I²C management interface. With 0.1W typical power consumption and passive design, it significantly reduces data center power and cooling costs compared to active optical cables or transceiver modules. Ideal for short-reach interconnects (up to 3 meters), the cable supports hot-pluggable installation and meets rigorous IBTA InfiniBand HDR compliance.
Key features
- Up to 200Gb/s aggregate data rate (4x 50Gb/s PAM4): Fully compliant with IBTA InfiniBand HDR specification
- Passive copper design – no active components, zero latency penalty: Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor per SFF-8665
- Low power consumption: < 0.1W (max) from single 3.3V supply: EEPROM with product identification and serialization (I²C interface)
- Robust cable construction: 26 AWG conductors, LSZH outer jacket: Operating case temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
- Superior BER performance: < 1E-15 with Mellanox InfiniBand HDR systems: RoHS compliant, Lead-Free (LF) and Halogen-Free (HF) PCB
- The MCP1600-E003E26 leverages 4-lane PAM4 modulation at 50Gb/s per lane, enabling 200Gb/s throughput over passive copper infrastructure. It adheres to SFF-8665 mechanical requirements and SFF-8636 management interface. Each cable undergoes stringent production testing including high-speed eye diagram validation, insertion loss, and crosstalk screening to guarantee out-of-the-box reliability. The 26 AWG gauge ensures optimal signal integrity at 3-meter distance while maintaining minimum bend radius: single bend 47mm, assembly/repeated bend 94mm, facilitating flexible deployment in high-density racks.
Typical applications
- Top-of-Rack (ToR) switching: Connect InfiniBand HDR switches to compute nodes within the same rack.
- High-Performance Computing (HPC): Short-reach links between GPU servers and leaf switches in clustered environments.
- Data Center Interconnects: Cost-effective point-to-point connections for storage nodes and management networks.
- AI/ML Clusters: Ultra-low latency links essential for distributed training workloads.
