Nvidia MCP7Y50-N001 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m OSFP 4xOSFP Black

The Nvidia MCP7Y50-N001 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1 m OSFP 4xOSFP Black is a short-reach, high-speed interconnect designed for data center and high-performance computing environments. This 1 metre fibre assembly connects an OSFP port to a 4xOSFP configuration, providing a compact, low-latency link for switch-to-switch or switch-to-node topologies. The cable is intended to support InfiniBand protocols and high-bandwidth transports while maintaining signal integrity and mechanical reliability in dense rack deployments.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable optical transmission with minimized insertion loss and consistent performance across typical data center operating temperatures. Its OSFP to 4xOSFP form factor enables flexible port mapping and efficient use of high-density switch fabrics. The short 1 m length reduces excess slack and helps maintain tidy cable management in crowded racks. The cable's black jacket and industry-standard connectors provide interoperability with compatible InfiniBand equipment and predictable mechanical mating.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Data center top-of-rack or leaf-spine switch connections
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch short-distance links within racks
• Environments using InfiniBand fabrics for accelerated storage or compute networks

Key specifications

• Connector types: OSFP to 4xOSFP optical connectors
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Media: fibre optic
• Color: black jacket
• Intended application: InfiniBand high-speed data interconnect
• Form factor: short-reach, high-density data center cabling

How to use

To install, power down or follow hot-plug procedures for your specific hardware, align the OSFP and 4xOSFP connectors with their respective ports and insert until the connector latch engages. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Verify link status through host or switch management interfaces and check for expected data rates and error-free operation. For replacement, remove the connector latches and gently withdraw the cable, avoiding twisting or pulling on the fibre assembly itself.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m OSFP to 4xOSFP fibre cable for short-reach links inside racks where low latency, predictable signal performance, and tidy cable management are required. Avoid kinking or bending the fibre sharply, and store spare cables in protective sleeves to prevent contamination of connector end-faces. If optical performance issues occur, inspect and clean connector end-faces with approved fibre cleaning tools and verify compatibility with your InfiniBand hardware and firmware revisions.
