NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP7H60-C03 Compatible 200G QSFP-DD 8 x 25G NRZ to 2 x 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Ethernet Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 3m (10ft)

The MCP7H60-C03 cable offers a direct QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP28 connection at 200Gbps. Its 3m (10ft) length and DAC construction are intended for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

The listed modulation format is QSFP-DD-8x 25G-NRZQSFP28-4x 25G-NRZ. 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.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8661, IEEE 802.3bs-200GAUI-8, IEEE802.3bm-CAUI-4, CMIS 4.0, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP28 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.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

MCP7H60-C03 is the longest of 4 verified length options in this family. Compared with MCP7H60-C02 at 2m (7ft), it provides 1m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

The rated power consumption is 0.1W (QSFP-DD End)0.1W (QSFP28 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 35mm. 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.

For this NVIDIA/Mellanox application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

Use part number MCP7H60-C03 for the 3m (10ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.
