Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox® MC2206310-030 is a QSFP QDR InfiniBand 30m Passive Copper DAC Cable. Refurbished Grade A — bench-tested in both link and signal-integrity checks by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.
What This Is NOT
- NOT an AOC. Passive copper cable with limited reach (typically ≤7m for high-speed gens).
- NOT a transceiver. Fixed-length cable assembly; ends are not field-replaceable.
- NOT a splitter or breakout cable. 1-to-1 cable assembly only.
- NOT bundled with adapters or transceivers — sold standalone.
Capabilities & Features
- Passive copper twin-axial pairs — no power required, lowest latency.
- DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) — temperature, voltage, optical power readable via I²C.
- EEPROM on each end with product identification and operating data.
- Hot-pluggable into any matching QSFP/SFP cage.
Compatibility & Constraints
- Primary connector: QSFP (compliant with MSA cage spec).
- Reach: 30m fixed length.
- Compatible adapters: NVIDIA ConnectX series.
- Compatible switches: NVIDIA Spectrum / Quantum.
- Power: drawn from host port (no external supply required).
Deployment & Use Cases
- Top-of-Rack to server interconnect.
- HPC compute node fabric.
- AI training cluster east-west bandwidth.
