Absolute Maximum Specifications

Absolute maximum ratings are those beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Prolonged operation between the operational specifications and absolute maximum ratings is not intended and may cause permanent device degradation.

Length in units of 1 m of direct attach copper cable.
According to SFF-8636 section 7.3.12 Length: “For modules with non-separable media interfaces, this field specifies the link length of the cable assembly (copper or AOC) in units of 1 meter. Link length is as specified in the INF-8074 specification. Link lengths less than 1 meter shall indicate 1 meter.”

Examples:
2.5m: Byte 18 = 02h, Byte 108 = 05h
2.25m: Byte 18 = 02h, Byte 108 = 03h

Please note that the MCP2M00 is a passive cable, and therefore has no Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) functions implemented. However, it is considered compliant with SFF-8472 to enable the host system to read device declarations including interconnect type, link code, and cable length. The compliance and DDM declarations are interpreted as follows:

Read address 94 = 08h. This declares SFF-8472 rev. 12.3 compliance.

Read address 92 bit 6 = 0. This declares that DDM is NOT implemented.  This declaration contradicts the wording of SFF-8472 rev. 12.3, but it prevents the host system from hanging if attempting to access the unimplemented upper page A2h.

The minimum assembly bending radius (close to the connector) is 10x the cable’s outer diameter. The repeated bend (far from the connector) is also 10x the cable’s outer diameter. The single bend (far from the connector) is 5x the cable’s outer diameter.

FCC Class A Notice

Each of the devices complies with CFR47 FCC Class A Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

  1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
  2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur during installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Modifications: Any modifications made to this device that are not approved by NVIDIA may void the authority granted to the user by the FCC to operate this equipment.
