Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is 8x 200G-PAM4 to Dual 4x 200G-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.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is 2W (1.6T End)2W (800G 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.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PET/VW-1 jacket, minimum bend radius 45mm. 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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is 1.6T/800G InfiniBand. Listed interface and protocol references include OSFP Rev 5.2, IEEE 802.3df, IEEE 802.3dj, CMIS 5.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Breakout Port Mapping

The OSFP224 (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x OSFP224 (RHS/Flat Top) configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

The additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives MCA7K10-X01A useful routing flexibility when the ports are not directly aligned. It can accommodate a different rack unit or a short service loop, but excess cable should be dressed loosely rather than folded into a tight coil.

Position Within the Length Range

MCA7K10-X01A occupies the middle of this family between MCA7K10-X001 at 1m (3ft) and MCA7K10-X002 at 2m (7ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatibility and Factory Testing

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes MCA7K10-X01A. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

Ordering Information

This product is ordered as MCA7K10-X01A in 1.5m (5ft). 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original NVIDIA/Mellanox cable?

No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies NVIDIA/Mellanox MCA7K10-X01A.

Can I use it between different speeds or interface types?

Only when both hosts explicitly support the same data rate, lane mapping and breakout configuration. Mechanical fit alone is not proof of interoperability.

What information should I provide for a compatibility check?

Provide the host manufacturer, equipment model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM part number and required quantity.

Does this page include more than one cable length?

No. This page is dedicated to 1.5m (5ft) and part number MCA7K10-X01A. Other lengths have their own part numbers and product pages.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

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.

Shipping and Lead Time

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.
