NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP1650-H01AE30 Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 InfiniBand HDR Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 1.5m (5ft)

Use the MCP1650-H01AE30 compatible assembly where a 200G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 1.5m (5ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: MCP1650-H01AE30HT Part Number: MCP1650-H01AE30

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP1650-H01AE30
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 1.5m (5ft), MCP1650-H01AE30
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.03W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 39mm

The rated power consumption is 0.03W 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 30AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 39mm. 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 IEEE802.3cd, SFF-8436, InfiniBand HDR. 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.

The additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives MCP1650-H01AE30 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.

MCP1650-H01AE30 occupies the middle of this family between MCP1650-H001E30 at 1m (3ft) and MCP1650-H002E26 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.

Each MCP1650-H01AE30 compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe electrical continuity, link stability 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.

Use part number MCP1650-H01AE30 for the 1.5m (5ft) 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.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
