NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1600-E001E30 100Gb/s QSFP28 Passive Copper DAC Cable, 1m

Brand:
HPE

The NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1600-E001E30 is a 1-meter, 30 AWG passive copper direct-attach cable designed for InfiniBand EDR connectivity up to 100 Gb/s. It belongs to NVIDIA's MCP1600 100Gb/s QSFP28 DAC family and is intended for short-distance, high-bandwidth interconnects in compatible HPC and data-center environments. NVIDIA identifies this exact model as a QSFP28, black, 1 m, 30 AWG EDR cable and lists it among validated EDR cable options.

OVERVIEW

  • The MCP1600-E001E30 is a 1-meter 100Gb/s QSFP28 passive copper DAC for InfiniBand EDR, providing a compact, low-power interconnect for compatible HPC and data-center infrastructure. Compatibility: intended for supported EDR InfiniBand QSFP28 environments; verify host and switch support before purchase. Model comparison: compared with MCP1600-E002E30, this model is 1 m rather than 2 m, making it better suited to shorter rack-level links.

USE CASES

  • HPC server-to-switch connections: Connect compatible InfiniBand EDR adapters and switches over a short 100Gb/s-class copper link.
  • AI and GPU cluster infrastructure: Provide short-reach connectivity between compatible accelerator servers and EDR fabric switches.
  • High-performance computing clusters: Support dense interconnects where low-latency, high-bandwidth fabric connectivity is required.
  • Rack-level InfiniBand networking: The 1 m length is useful where equipment is positioned close together, helping avoid unnecessary cable slack.
  • Data-center fabric deployment: Provide a purpose-built passive copper connection for compatible EDR infrastructure.
  • Cluster expansion: Add short EDR links while maintaining consistency with other MCP1600 cable deployments.
  • High-performance storage environments: Connect compatible InfiniBand storage and compute equipment over short distances.
  • Cable standardization: Use a defined NVIDIA/Mellanox model when procurement teams need consistent 100Gb/s QSFP28 passive copper cabling.

KEY FEATURES

  • Up to 100 Gb/s data rate: Provides the bandwidth class required for compatible InfiniBand EDR interconnects. 
  • QSFP28 interface: Provides a high-density connector format for compatible 100Gb/s-class EDR equipment. NVIDIA specifies the cable as SFF-8665-compliant QSFP28. 
  • Passive copper construction: Provides a short-distance direct-attach electrical connection without active optical components, supporting a lower-complexity rack interconnect. 
  • 1 m cable length: Provides a compact connection for closely positioned servers, adapters and switches while reducing excess cable in dense racks. 
  • 30 AWG construction: Uses the specified 30 AWG cable gauge for this MCP1600 1 m variant. 
  • Black cable jacket: Provides the manufacturer-specified black finish for straightforward physical identification. 
  • 3.3 V single supply: Uses the specified single 3.3 V supply architecture for the QSFP28 cable electronics. 
  • Maximum 0.1 W power consumption: Helps minimize cable-side power demand in dense networking deployments. 
  • 0–70°C operating case temperature: Supports deployment across the specified operating temperature range for compatible data-center environments. 
  • EEPROM identification: The QSFP28 cable incorporates EEPROM information readable by the host, supporting cable identification and inventory management. 
  • Hot-pluggable design: Allows installation or replacement in supported systems without requiring a dedicated cable-side power-down procedure. 
  • RoHS and LSZH design: NVIDIA identifies the MCP1600 family as RoHS compliant with an LSZH jacket, supporting specified environmental and cabling requirements.
