NVIDIA/Mellanox MC2309130-00A Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 1 x 10G SFP+ Ethernet Passive Copper Cable, 0.5m (2ft)

The MC2309130-00A cable offers a direct QSFP+ to SFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 0.5m (2ft) length and DAC construction are intended for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MC2309130-00A
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 0.5m (2ft), MC2309130-00A
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 28mm

The rated power consumption is 0.1W Per End. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

The 0.5m (2ft) length is suited to closely aligned ports where excessive slack would obstruct airflow or complicate dressing. Measure the actual port-to-port path before choosing MC2309130-00A; even a short assembly must retain the specified bend radius and should never be pulled tight behind the equipment.

MC2309130-00A is the shortest of 6 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is MC2309130-001 at 1m (3ft), adding 0.5m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 28mm. 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 SFF-8636, SFF-8472. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

For this NVIDIA/Mellanox application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

Use part number MC2309130-00A for the 0.5m (2ft) 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.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, MC2309130-00A and the 0.5m (2ft) length for easier inventory control.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
