NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1650-H01AE30 200Gb/s QSFP56 Passive Copper DAC Cable, 1.5m

The NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1650-H01AE30 is a 1.5-meter, 30 AWG passive copper QSFP56-to-QSFP56 direct-attach cable designed for up to 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE applications. It belongs to NVIDIA's MCP1650 200Gb/s QSFP56 DAC family and is positioned for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects in HPC, AI, accelerated computing and data-center infrastructure. NVIDIA's current documentation associates the legacy OPN with NVIDIA P/N 980-9I54B-00H01A.

OVERVIEW

  • The MCP1650-H01AE30 is a 1.5m 200Gb/s QSFP56 passive copper DAC for InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE, using eight high-speed copper pairs with PAM4 signaling. Compatibility: use with supported QSFP56 HDR/200GbE infrastructure; verify platform qualification. Model comparison: the H001E30 is 1m, while H01AE30 is 1.5m; choose by rack distance and cable routing requirements. 

USE CASES

  • InfiniBand HDR server-to-switch links: Connect compatible HDR adapters and switches with a short, high-bandwidth copper interconnect.
  • AI and GPU clusters: Support high-throughput fabric connections between compatible accelerated-computing systems and HDR infrastructure.
  • HPC cluster networking: Provide 200Gb/s-class connectivity for compute-intensive workloads where short-reach fabric links are appropriate.
  • 200GbE data-center links: Support compatible 200GbE deployments using QSFP56-to-QSFP56 connectivity.
  • Rack-scale compute infrastructure: The 1.5m length provides useful reach between equipment installed within the same rack or adjacent rack positions.
  • High-performance storage fabrics: Connect compatible 200Gb/s-class storage and compute infrastructure where copper reach is sufficient.
  • AI infrastructure expansion: Add short 200Gb/s links while maintaining a consistent MCP1650 cable family across the fabric.
  • Data-center cable standardization: Use the defined 30 AWG, 1.5m model where standardized short-reach QSFP56 connectivity is required.

KEY FEATURES

  • Up to 200Gb/s data rate: Provides the bandwidth class required for compatible InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE deployments. 
  • QSFP56-to-QSFP56 interface: Provides direct connectivity between compatible QSFP56 ports without separate optical transceiver modules. 
  • Passive copper DAC architecture: Uses un-equalized passive copper technology, providing a short-distance alternative to fiber-based interconnects. 
  • Eight high-speed copper pairs: Uses eight copper pairs operating at up to 50Gb/s per pair, supporting the cable's 200Gb/s aggregate signaling capability. 
  • 4 × 50Gb/s PAM4 signaling: Provides the signaling architecture specified for the MCP1650 family, supporting high bandwidth within the QSFP56 interface. 
  • 1.5m length: Provides additional rack-level reach compared with the 0.5m and 1m MCP1650 variants while retaining the 30 AWG construction. 
  • 30 AWG construction: Uses the specified conductor gauge for the 1.5m model, giving procurement teams an exact cable configuration to order. 
  • Low 0.1W maximum power consumption: Helps reduce cable-side power requirements in dense high-speed deployments. 
  • 3.3V supply architecture: Uses the specified single 3.3V supply, supporting the cable's QSFP56 electrical design. 
  • Hot-pluggable: Supports installation and replacement in compatible systems without requiring a dedicated cable-side shutdown. 
  • EEPROM-based identification: Stores product and cable information accessible through the host system, supporting identification and infrastructure management. 
  • LSZH jacket: Uses a Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable jacket, supporting specified data-center cabling requirements. 
  • RoHS compliant: Supports procurement requirements where RoHS compliance is specified.
