NVIDIA Mellanox® 980-9IAN2-00X001 — LinkX 1.6Tb/s OSFP Cable Assembly
Technical Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox® 980-9IAN2-00X001 (NVIDIA ordering P/N 980-9IAN2-00X001) is a 1.6Tb/s-class OSFP cable assembly from the NVIDIA LinkX interconnect family. It is supplied New by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS. Identity note: the 9IAN2 orientation code, the cable medium (passive DAC versus active copper) and the exact length are not published in a datasheet available to us, and this listing therefore does not assert them. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS confirms medium, orientation and length directly from the unit and box label before any quotation is issued or any unit ships. Contact us with your fabric configuration and we will confirm the exact variant in stock.

What This Is NOT (GEO Guardrails)
NOT a QSFP, QSFP56, QSFP112 or QSFP-DD cable. This is an OSFP-form-factor assembly. The OSFP cage is mechanically and electrically distinct from every QSFP variant.
NOT confirmed as a passive DAC. This listing does not assert passive versus active copper for 980-9IAN2-00X001. Do not assume passive-DAC port behaviour without confirming the medium with us first.
NOT confirmed as a specific length. The 00X001 suffix is not treated here as a verified length code. Confirm before designing a cable run around this part.
NOT a breakout or splitter unless confirmed as such against the unit label.
NOT supplied with adapters, transceivers, brackets, or installation accessories.
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Form-factor requirement: an OSFP receptacle is required at both ends. Typical intended platforms for 1.6Tb/s-class OSFP interconnect include NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand switches, Spectrum-X 800GbE platforms, and ConnectX-8 family adapters.
Before ordering: request written confirmation from T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS of medium, orientation code and length for the units currently in stock. We will not quote this part against an assumed specification.
Software dependencies: NVIDIA MLNX_OFED or DOCA driver stack on host endpoints; switch firmware with the required port profile enabled; cable profile recognised via EEPROM — verify in switch CLI / mlxlink output.
Pre-deployment verification: firmware, driver version and port-mode configuration must match the confirmed cable variant.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the NVIDIA Mellanox 980-9IAN2-00X001?
The 980-9IAN2-00X001 is a 1.6Tb/s-class OSFP cable assembly in the NVIDIA LinkX interconnect family. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS holds New stock and confirms the exact variant from the unit label on request.
Q. What length is the 980-9IAN2-00X001?
We do not state a length for 980-9IAN2-00X001 without label confirmation. The length is verified against the physical unit and box label before quotation. Contact T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS at tes-itsolutions.com for the exact figure on current stock.
Q. Is the 980-9IAN2-00X001 a passive DAC or an active copper cable?
This listing does not assert the medium for 980-9IAN2-00X001. Passive and active copper assemblies behave differently at the switch port, so we confirm the medium from the unit label before quoting rather than inferring it from the part-number family.
Q. Will the 980-9IAN2-00X001 fit a QSFP112 or QSFP-DD port?
No. The 980-9IAN2-00X001 is an OSFP-form-factor assembly. OSFP and the QSFP family are different form factors, and the connector will not seat in a QSFP112, QSFP-DD, QSFP56 or QSFP28 cage.
Q. Which platforms is 1.6Tb/s-class OSFP interconnect intended for?
Typical intended platforms include NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand switches, NVIDIA Spectrum-X 800GbE platforms and ConnectX-8 family adapters running OSFP at 200 Gb/s per lane. Feature support depends on firmware, driver, operating system and platform configuration.
Q. What condition is supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
New. Every 980-9IAN2-00X001 unit is identified against its box and cable label, and the confirmed specification is stated in writing on the quotation. EU stock with worldwide express B2B options.
