Mellanox LinkX Passive Copper Cables

Mellanox MCP1600-C0xxxxxx direct attach copper (DAC) passive cable assemblies are high-speed, cost-effective alternatives to fiber optics in 100Gb/s Ethernet applications. Mellanox QSFP28 passive copper cable contains four high-speed copper pairs, each operating at data rates of up to 25GbE. Each QSFP28 connector includes an EEPROM providing product information that can be read by the host system.

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 data centers.

MCP1600 cables up to 2m support IEEE 802.3bj CA-25G-N (Cable Assembly No-FEC) with low latency. Cables from 3m to 5m support IEEE 802.3bj 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 data centers.

Rigorous cable production testing ensures the best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance, and durability.
