NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP2M00-A01A Compatible 25G SFP28 Ethernet Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 1.5m (5ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize MCP2M00-A01A, this SFP28 to SFP28 cable delivers 25G transmission over a fixed 1.5m (5ft) assembly. Its DAC construction provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: MCP2M00-A01AHT Part Number: MCP2M00-A01A

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP2M00-A01A
• 25G connectivity at 25Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP28 to SFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 1.5m (5ft), MCP2M00-A01A
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 21.25mm

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 21.25mm. 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 25G Ethernet, Data Center, 5G Wireless. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8402, Infiniband, EIA 364-1000. 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 MCP2M00-A01A 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.

MCP2M00-A01A occupies the middle of this family between MCP2M00-A001 at 1m (3ft) and MCP2M00-A002 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.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes MCP2M00-A01A. 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.

When ordering, specify MCP2M00-A01A, cable length 1.5m (5ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

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.
