NVIDIA/Mellanox MC220731V-020 Compatible 56G QSFP+ Ethernet Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

With a fixed 20m (66ft) cable and QSFP+ to QSFP+, the MC220731V-020 compatible assembly simplifies High-Speed deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment.

OEM Part Number: MC220731V-020HT Part Number: MC220731V-020

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MC220731V-020
• High-Speed connectivity at FDR 56Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 20m (66ft), MC220731V-020
• 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.

MC220731V-020 occupies the middle of this family between MC220731V-015 at 15m (49ft) and MC220731V-025 at 25m (82ft). 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.

The extended 20m (66ft) 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.

Each MC220731V-020 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.

This product is ordered as MC220731V-020 in 20m (66ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
