NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1650-H002E26 200Gb/s QSFP56 DAC Cable

NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1650-H002E26 is a 2-meter passive copper Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for InfiniBand HDR up to 200Gb/s and 200GbE applications. It uses QSFP56-to-QSFP56 connectivity and 26-AWG copper construction, making it a practical short-reach interconnect for high-bandwidth servers, switches, HPC clusters, GPU infrastructure, and data-center fabrics. NVIDIA lists this specific SKU as an HVM cable.

OVERVIEW

  • The MCP1650-H002E26 is a 2m passive copper cable for 200Gb/s HDR InfiniBand and 200GbE links. Compatibility: QSFP56-to-QSFP56 equipment supporting the relevant 200Gb/s interface; verify device qualification. Model comparison: H002E26 is 2m/26-AWG, while H00AE30 is 0.5m/30-AWG and H001E30 is 1m/30-AWG.

USE CASES

  • HPC cluster networking – Provides 200Gb/s-class connectivity between compatible compute and fabric equipment.
  • AI and GPU infrastructure – Supports high-bandwidth links for distributed compute environments.
  • InfiniBand HDR fabrics – Provides a direct copper interconnect for supported HDR networking equipment.
  • 200GbE data-center networks – NVIDIA validates the MCP1650-H002E26 for 200GbE applications as well as HDR InfiniBand. 
  • Server-to-switch connectivity – The 2m length accommodates installations where 0.5m or 1m cables are insufficient.
  • High-performance storage networks – Suitable for compatible 200Gb/s storage and compute fabrics.
  • Dense rack deployments – Direct-attach copper minimizes unnecessary optical components for appropriate short-reach connections.
  • Data-center infrastructure upgrades – Provides an OEM-specific cable SKU for replacing or expanding compatible 200Gb/s links.
  • System-integrator projects – Simplifies BOM selection where QSFP56-to-QSFP56 2m connectivity is required.
  • Rack-scale networking – Useful for connecting adjacent or nearby servers and switches within structured rack layouts.

KEY FEATURES
