Introduction
NVIDIA® MCP7F00-A0xxRyyz DAC (Direct Attach Copper) splitter cables are a high speed, cost-effective 100GbE to 4x 25GbE Ethernet connectivity solution designed to meet the growing needs for higher bandwidth in data centers.
MCP7F00 cables are compliant with SFF-8402 SFP28 and SFF-8665 QSFP28 standard specifications and provide connectivity between system units with QSFP28 port on one side and up to four different SFP28 ports on the other. The cable connects data signals from each of the 4 copper pairs on the QSFP28 end to the single pair of each of the SFP28 ends. Each QSFP28/SFP28 port comprises an EEPROM providing product information, which can be read by the host system.
MCP7F00 cables up to 2m support IEEE 802.3by CA-25G-N (Cable Assembly No-FEC) with low latency. Cables from 3m up to 5m support IEEE 802.by CA-25G-L (Cable Assembly Long) with RS-FEC (Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction) enabled. For 2.5 and 3m cables there are two versions supporting either CA-25G-N or CA-25G-L.
NVIDIA unique-quality 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.
