NVIDIA/Mellanox MC220731V-015 Compatible 56G QSFP+ Ethernet Active Optical Cable, 15m (49ft)

Use the MC220731V-015 compatible assembly where a High-Speed connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 15m (49ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: MC220731V-015HT Part Number: MC220731V-015

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MC220731V-015
• High-Speed connectivity at FDR 56Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 15m (49ft), MC220731V-015
• 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 extended 15m (49ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

MC220731V-015 occupies the middle of this family between MC220731V-010 at 10m (33ft) and MC220731V-020 at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

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.

Each MC220731V-015 compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended NVIDIA/Mellanox platform should be included with the order.

Use part number MC220731V-015 for the 15m (49ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

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.
