BlueLAN Compatible Mellanox MCP7H50-V01AR30 Passive 200GBASE-CR4 QSFP56 to 2x100GBASE-CR2 QSFP56 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 2m, AWG26

The BlueLAN MCP7H50-V01AR30-BL is a high-performance passive direct attach breakout cable (DAC) designed for compatibility with Mellanox (NVIDIA) networking equipment. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for high-speed data center interconnects, converting a single 200 Gbps QSFP56 port into two 100 Gbps QSFP56 ports.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers significant advantages in terms of cost efficiency and space utilization. By using a single cable to split a 200 GbE connection into two 100 GbE links, it reduces the number of required ports and cables, simplifying cable management and lowering overall infrastructure costs. The passive copper design ensures low power consumption and zero latency, making it ideal for high-density environments.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects requiring high bandwidth
