NVIDIA/Mellanox MCA1J00-H004E Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Ethernet Active Copper Twinax Cable, 4m (13ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize MCA1J00-H004E, this QSFP56 to QSFP56 cable delivers 200G transmission over a fixed 4m (13ft) assembly. Its ACC construction provides an actively conditioned copper link for the stated high-speed interface.

OEM Part Number: MCA1J00-H004EHT Part Number: MCA1J00-H004E

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MCA1J00-H004E
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 4m (13ft), MCA1J00-H004E
• Cable construction: Active Twinax
• Conductor specification: 28AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 1.5W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 40mm

The rated power consumption is 1.5W 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 4m (13ft) length gives MCA1J00-H004E more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the ACC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

MCA1J00-H004E is the shortest of 2 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 MCA1J00-H005E at 5m (16ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 40mm. 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 IEEE 802.3cd, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with MCA1J00-H004E, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 4m (13ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new NVIDIA/Mellanox software can request a pre-order check.

This product is ordered as MCA1J00-H004E in 4m (13ft). 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.

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, MCA1J00-H004E and the 4m (13ft) length for easier inventory control.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
