NVIDIA/Mellanox MC220731V-003 Compatible 56G QSFP+ Ethernet Active Optical Cable, 3m (10ft)

The HT-manufactured MC220731V-003 compatible cable provides High-Speed connectivity for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment. This 3m (10ft) version is a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

OEM Part Number: MC220731V-003HT Part Number: MC220731V-003

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MC220731V-003
• High-Speed connectivity at FDR 56Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 3m (10ft), MC220731V-003
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 56G InfiniBand , 4x FDR, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

MC220731V-003 occupies the middle of this family between MC220731V-002 at 2m (7ft) and MC220731V-005 at 5m (16ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to QSFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting MC220731V-003 and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

When ordering, specify MC220731V-003, cable length 3m (10ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
