NVIDIA/Mellanox MCA4J80-N004 Compatible 800G Twin-port OSFP 8 x 100G PAM4 IHS/Finned Top InfiniBand NDR Active Copper Twinax Cable, 4m (13ft)

The HT-manufactured MCA4J80-N004 compatible cable provides 800G connectivity for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment. This 4m (13ft) version is an actively conditioned copper link for the stated high-speed interface, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

OEM Part Number: MCA4J80-N004HT Part Number: MCA4J80-N004

Product Highlights

• Interface configuration: OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top)
• Fixed length and part number: 4m (13ft), MCA4J80-N004
• Cable construction: Active DAC (ACC)
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 1.3W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 59.5mm

The listed modulation format is 8x100G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

MCA4J80-N004 occupies the middle of this family between MCA4J80-N002 at 2m (7ft) and MCA4J80-N005 at 5m (16ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The rated power consumption is 1.3W 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.

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 59.5mm. 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 800G InfiniBand. Listed interface and protocol references include CMIS 5.0, IEEE 802.3ck, OSFP Rev5.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The 4m (13ft) length gives MCA4J80-N004 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with MCA4J80-N004, 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 MCA4J80-N004 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, MCA4J80-N004 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.
