MCA4K00 1600Gbps to 1600Gbps OSFP Active Copper Cable Product Specifications

Introduction

NVIDIA® MCA4K00 is a 1600Gb/s OSFP (Octal Small Formfactor Pluggable) to 1600 Gb/s OSFP Active Copper Cable which comes in RHS to RHS (Riding Heat Sink) form factor.

Using the Octal Small Formfactor Plug (OSFP) and containing eight high-speed electrical copper pairs, each operating at data rates of up to 200Gb/s.

The cable firmware supports InfiniBand, Ethernet, and NVL5, which it can automatically detect and enable depending on the protocol of the switch it attaches to. EEPROMs provide product configuration information to be read by the host. Every cable length is tuned to reduce internal signal noise and back reflections.

NVIDIA’s cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity enabling 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.
