NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP7F60-W02AR26 Compatible 400G QSFP-DD 8 x 50G PAM4 to 4 x 100G QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 Ethernet Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 2.5m (8ft)

The HT-manufactured MCP7F60-W02AR26 compatible cable provides 400G connectivity for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment. This 2.5m (8ft) version is a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

The listed modulation format is QSFP-DD-8x 50G-PAM4QSFP56-2x 50G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

MCP7F60-W02AR26 occupies the middle of this family between MCP7F60-W002R26 at 2m (7ft) and MCP7F60-W003R26 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 rated power consumption is 0.1W (QSFP-DD End)0.1W (QSFP56 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 28AWG conductors, PVC jacket, minimum bend radius 41mm. 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 400G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include SFF-8665, QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE802.3bj, IEEE802.3 cd. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

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 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 MCP7F60-W02AR26 reaches both ports without tension at either connector.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with MCP7F60-W02AR26, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 2.5m (8ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new NVIDIA/Mellanox software can request a pre-order check.

Quote HT part number MCP7F60-W02AR26 with the required quantity. The 2.5m (8ft) 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.

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.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
