NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP7H50-H00AR30 Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 to 2 x 100G QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 InfiniBand HDR Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 0.5m (2ft)

The MCP7H50-H00AR30 cable offers a direct QSFP56 to 2 QSFP56 connection at 200Gbps. Its 0.5m (2ft) length and DAC construction are intended for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP7H50-H00AR30
• 200G connectivity at 200Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP56 to 2 QSFP56
• Fixed length and part number: 0.5m (2ft), MCP7H50-H00AR30
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W (200G End) 0.1W (100G Per End)
• Minimum bend radius: 26mm

The rated power consumption is 0.1W (200G End) 0.1W (100G 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.

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 MCP7H50-H00AR30; even a short assembly must retain the specified bend radius and should never be pulled tight behind the equipment.

MCP7H50-H00AR30 is the shortest of 4 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 MCP7H50-H001R30 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 (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 26mm. 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 IEEE 802.3cd, SFF-8665, SFF-8665. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP56 to 2 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 assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes MCP7H50-H00AR30. 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.

Quote HT part number MCP7H50-H00AR30 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.

Every MCP7H50-H00AR30 compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 0.5m (2ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

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.
