Cable Instructions
Instructions
Mellanox® MCP1600-E0xxEyy DAC cables are high speed, cost-effective
alternatives to fiber optics in InfiniBand 100Gb/s EDR applications.
Mellanox QSFP28 passive copper cables(1) contain four high-speed copper pairs,
each operating at data rates of up to 25Gb/s. Each QSFP28 port comprises an
EEPROM providing product information, which can
be read by the host system. Mellanox’s unique quality passive copper cable
solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for short distance
interconnects. It enables higher port bandwidth, density and configurability
at a low cost and reduced power requirement in the data centers.
Rigorous cable production testing ensures best out-of-the-box installation
experience, performance and durability.
