InfiniBand/fibre optic cable NVIDIA MFP7E20-N003, MPO to 2×MPO, multimode, 3 m, blue

The NVIDIA MFP7E20-N003 is a 3 m multimode InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with a single MPO connector on one end and two MPO connectors on the other. It is intended for high-density data centre and HPC interconnects and supports MPO trunking and breakout configurations for short-reach multimode links. The cable is blue and suited to MPO-based cabling systems.

Advantages

This multimode fibre cable provides MPO-to-2×MPO connectivity in a compact 3 m length, enabling trunk-to-breakout connections without additional adapters. Its MPO termination supports high-density port layouts common in data centres and HPC environments, and the blue jacket helps with quick identification and organised cabling.

Suitable for

• Short-reach multimode links in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) interconnects
• MPO trunking and breakout between switches, patch panels and servers

When it may not be suitable

This cable is multimode and intended for short-reach links; it is not suitable for long-distance single-mode fibre runs. It also uses MPO connectors, so it requires compatible MPO ports or adapters and is not directly compatible with individual LC or SC ports without appropriate breakout modules.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Fibre type: Multimode
• Connector configuration: MPO to 2×MPO
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and mating the MPO connectors to compatible MPO ports or MPO patch panels. Ensure connector keying and polarity are correct for the intended trunk or breakout configuration. Use standard fibre handling practices: avoid sharp bends, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors, and keep connector endfaces clean to maintain signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your equipment supports MPO connectors and multimode fibre
• Verify required link length—this cable is 3 m for short-reach connections
• Check polarity and breakout mapping required by your network design

Recommendations

Use this MPO to 2×MPO multimode cable for short-reach trunking and breakout in data centres and HPC racks, and follow standard fibre-care procedures (clean connectors, maintain bend radius, and secure strain relief) to ensure reliable performance.
