NVIDIA Passive Copper Splitter Cable

Overview

The NVIDIA MCP7Y50-N002 is a passive copper splitter cable that efficiently divides a single 800Gb/s InfiniBand twin port into four separate 200Gb/s OSFP ports. Designed with a 2-meter copper twinaxial cable, it supports short-reach connections commonly found in dense data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and cloud infrastructure. Its passive design means it requires no external power or active components, ensuring straightforward installation and reliable signal integrity over short distances.

Key features

• Splits one 800Gb/s InfiniBand twin port into four 200Gb/s OSFP ports, expanding connectivity without additional hardware
• Passive copper twinaxial cable eliminates the need for external power or transceivers, reducing complexity and potential failure points
• 2-meter length optimized for short-reach connections within racks or between closely located devices
• Compatible with NDR systems, making it suitable for modern, high-bandwidth network environments
• Maintains signal integrity to support high-throughput data transfer in demanding IT and networking applications

Key specs

• Data rate: 800Gb/s input split into four 200Gb/s outputs
