NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP2M00-A02A Compatible 25G SFP28 Ethernet Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 2.5m (8ft)

The MCP2M00-A02A cable offers a direct SFP28 to SFP28 connection at 25Gbps. Its 2.5m (8ft) length and DAC construction are intended for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: MCP2M00-A02AHT Part Number: MCP2M00-A02A

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP2M00-A02A
• 25G connectivity at 25Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP28 to SFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 2.5m (8ft), MCP2M00-A02A
• 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 2.5m (8ft) version is useful when a two-metre run would leave insufficient working slack. Before installation, check the complete horizontal and vertical path so that MCP2M00-A02A reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

MCP2M00-A02A occupies the middle of this family between MCP2M00-A002 at 2m (7ft) and MCP2M00-A003 at 3m (10ft). 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 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.

Our compatibility setup for NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP2M00-A02A is checked together with the physical 2.5m (8ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

This product is ordered as MCP2M00-A02A in 2.5m (8ft). 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.

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.

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.
