NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP1650-V003E26 Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Ethernet Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 3m (10ft)

With a fixed 3m (10ft) cable and QSFP56 to QSFP56, the MCP1650-V003E26 compatible assembly simplifies 200G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment.

OEM Part Number: MCP1650-V003E26HT Part Number: MCP1650-V003E26

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP1650-V003E26
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 3m (10ft), MCP1650-V003E26
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.03W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 44.5mm

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.

MCP1650-V003E26 is the longest of 5 verified length options in this family. Compared with MCP1650-V002E26 at 2m (7ft), it provides 1m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 44.5mm. 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 determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE802.3cd, SFF-8436. 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.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

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.

This product is ordered as MCP1650-V003E26 in 3m (10ft). 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, MCP1650-V003E26 and the 3m (10ft) 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.
