NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP1650-V00AE30 Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 Ethernet Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 0.5m (2ft)

This HT cable matches the MCP1650-V00AE30 requirement for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment. The 0.5m (2ft) assembly supports 200G operation and provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP1650-V00AE30
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 0.5m (2ft), MCP1650-V00AE30
• 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.

MCP1650-V00AE30 is the shortest of 5 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 MCP1650-V001E30 at 1m (3ft), adding 0.5m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

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. 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 0.5m (2ft) length is suited to closely aligned ports where excessive slack would obstruct airflow or complicate dressing. Measure the actual port-to-port path before choosing MCP1650-V00AE30; even a short assembly must retain the specified bend radius and should never be pulled tight behind the equipment.

Each MCP1650-V00AE30 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.

Quote HT part number MCP1650-V00AE30 with the required quantity. The 0.5m (2ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

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.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
