Overview

Mellanox®MCP1600-C0xxEyyz direct attach copper (DAC) cables are high speed, cost-effectivealternatives to fiber optics in 100Gb/s Ethernet applications.Mellanox QSFP28 passive copper cable contains four high-speed copper pairs, each operating at data ratesof up to 25GbE. Each QSFP28 connector includes an EEPROM providing product information which can beread by the host system.Mellanox's unique quality, passive, copper cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for shortdistance interconnects. They enable higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost andreduced power requirement in the data centers.MCP1600-C0xxEyyz cables up to 2m support IEEE 802.3bj CA-25G-N (Cable Assembly No-FEC) with lowlatency. Cables from 3m to 5m support IEEE 802.3bj CA-25G-L (Cable Assembly Long) with RS-FEC (ReedSolomon Forward Error Correction) enabled(1). For 2.5m and 3m cables there are two versions supportingeither CA-25G-N or CA-25G-L.Mellanox's unique quality passive copper cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for shortdistance interconnects. They enable higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost andreduced power requirement in the data centers.Rigorous cable production testing ensures best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance anddurability.
