MCP1600-E0xxE 100Gb/s QSFP28 DAC Cable Product Specifications
Introduction
NVIDIA® MCP1600-E0xxxE DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables are high
speed, cost-effective alternatives to fiber optics in 100Gb/s
InfiniBand EDR applications.
The QSFP28 passive copper cable[1] contains four high-speed copper
pairs, each operating at data rates of up to 25Gb/s. Each QSFP28
port comprises an EEPROM providing product information, which can
be read by the host system.
NVIDIA unique-quality cable solutions provide power-efficient
connectivity for short distance interconnects. It enables higher
port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost and
reduced power requirement in the data centers.
Rigorous cable production testing ensures best out-of-the-box
installation experience, performance and durability.
LinkX-certified cables are 100 percent tested in actual NVIDIA GPU
and switching systems to ensure optimal signal integrity and the
best end-to-end performance. NVIDIA DAC cables are designed for use
in supercomputers and hyperscale systems that have very stringent
requirements. All NVIDIA cables are tested to bit error ratios
(BER) lower than IEEE industry standards. They’re available in
lengths from 0.5m to 7m, in small form-factor pluggable (SFP) and
quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) options, and with
10G/25G-non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and 50G-4-level pulse amplitude
modulation (PAM4).
The low-loss 25G- NRZ-based DAC cables support the IEEE CA-N and
CA-L specifications. When used at <2 meters, they enable running
switches with NO-forward error correction (FEC) or reduced-FEC to
save latency and power.
DAC cables contain no electronics, consume zero power, and offer
the lowest latency and insertion loss. In NVIDIA DGX™ A100 GPU
systems, DACs are used to link GPUs to network switches and to
create Ethernet storage fabrics (ESF) with hard-disk-drive (HDD)
and flash subsystems.
