NVIDIA MFP7E10-N005 Passive MMF Fiber Cable MPO12 APC to MPO12 APC 5m
Technical Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox MFP7E10-N005 is a 5m passive multimode optical fiber cable in the NVIDIA LinkX family, designed for 400GbE Ethernet and NDR (400Gb/s) InfiniBand data-center links. It is a straight, 8-fiber MPO-12/APC to MPO-12/APC OM4 MMF cable used to interconnect Quantum-2 InfiniBand or Spectrum-4 Ethernet switches with ConnectX-7 network adapters or BlueField-3 DPUs via NVIDIA Twin-port OSFP, single-port OSFP, or QSFP112 optical transceivers. The cable contains no active electronics; all protocol, speed, PAM4 modulation, and reach behavior is determined by the installed optical transceivers and platform configuration. Condition: Refurbished, supplied from EU stock by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.

Condition: Refurbished

What This Is NOT

NOT a 1:2 splitter or breakout cable — straight MPO-12 to MPO-12 only
NOT an Active Optical Cable (AOC) — no integrated optics or signal conditioning
NOT a copper DAC or ACC interconnect
NOT compatible with MPO-12/UPC connectors (blue shell, flat polish) — APC and UPC polishes do not mate
NOT supplied with optical transceivers, breakout adapters, or mounting accessories
NOT for single-mode (SMF) transceivers — MMF cable, multimode transceivers only

Compatibility

Switch end: NVIDIA Twin-port OSFP DR8 transceivers (e.g., MMA4Z00-NS) in Quantum-2 InfiniBand or Spectrum-4 Ethernet switches
Adapter / DPU end: single-port OSFP (MMA4Z00-NS400) in ConnectX-7 OSFP, or QSFP112 (MMA1Z00-NS400) in ConnectX-7 QSFP112 and BlueField-3 DPUs
Both MPO-12/APC ports on a Twin-port OSFP transceiver must use the same fiber type and polarity
Use MPO-12/APC only — do not mate with MPO-12/UPC (incompatible polish geometry)
Confirm port-group breakout mode, transceiver SKU, and lane mapping in switch and host configuration before deployment
Typical intra-rack to short inter-rack reach for 400GbE / NDR optical links

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MFP7E10-N005?
The MFP7E10-N005 is a 5m NVIDIA LinkX passive multimode fiber (MMF) cable, MPO-12/APC to MPO-12/APC, used to carry 400GbE Ethernet or NDR (400Gb/s) InfiniBand links between switches, adapters, and DPUs in NVIDIA-based data-center networks.
Is the MFP7E10-N005 passive or active?
Passive. The cable contains no signal-conditioning electronics, no integrated optics, and no transceiver modules. All protocol, speed, and reach behavior is determined by the optical transceivers installed at each end.
What fiber type does the MFP7E10-N005 use?
OM4 multimode fiber (MMF), optimized for 850nm VCSEL-based short-reach optical transceivers. The aqua LSZH jacket is the industry-standard color for OM4 MMF cabling.
What connector does the MFP7E10-N005 use?
MPO-12/APC (Angled Physical Contact) — a 12-fiber MPO connector with 8-degree angled polish (green shell) for low return loss. APC connectors are physically incompatible with UPC (blue shell, flat polish). Polarity and gender must be verified against transceiver requirements.
What condition does T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS supply?
Refurbished — each cable is end-face inspected, vendor markings verified against MPN, dust caps replaced where required, and packed in protective anti-static packaging for B2B shipment from EU stock.
