Mellanox Passive Copper Hybrid Cable, Ethernet, 100GbE to 4x25GbE, QSFP28 to 4xSFP28, LSZH, CA-N, 2.5 meters, Part ID: MCP7F00-A02AR26N

Mellanox® MCP7F00-A0xxRyyz DAC splitter cables are a high speed, cost-effective 100GbE to 4 x 25GbE Ethernet connectivity solution, designed to meet the growing needs for higher bandwidth in data centers.

MCP7F00-A0xxRyyz cables are compliant with SFF-8402 SFP28 and SFF-8665 QSFP28 standard specifications and provide connectivity between system units with a QSFP28 port on one side and up to four different SFP28 ports on the other. The cable connects data signals from each of the 4 copper pairs on the QSFP28 end to the single pair of each of the SFP28 ends. Each QSFP28/SFP28 port comprises an EEPROM providing product information, which can be read by the host system.

MCP7F00-A0xxRyyz cables up to 2m support IEEE 802.3by CA-25G-N (Cable Assembly No-FEC) with low latency. Cables from 3m to 5m support IEEE 802.by CA-25G-L (Cable Assembly Long) with RS-FEC (Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction) enabled. For 2.5m and 3m cables there are two versions supporting either CA-25G-N or CA-25G-L.

Mellanox’s unique quality passive copper cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for short distance interconnects. They enable higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost and reduced power requirement in the data centers.
