NVIDIA MFP7E10-N010 — 10m Passive MMF Fiber Cable, MPO-12/APC to MPO-12/APC
Technical Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox MFP7E10-N010 is a 10m straight passive multimode fiber (MMF) cable in the NVIDIA LinkX 400G/NDR family. It carries 8 fibers (4 Tx + 4 Rx) terminated in MPO-12/APC connectors on both ends with Type-B polarity, and is used to interconnect Twin-port OSFP transceivers at the switch end with single-port OSFP or QSFP112 transceivers at the host end. The cable contains no active electronics; protocol, lane mapping, and reach are entirely determined by the installed optical transceivers and platform configuration. Condition: Refurbished.

Key Features

Engineered for 400GbE Ethernet and NDR InfiniBand fabrics in modern AI, HPC, and high-density data-center designs
MPO-12/APC connectors with 8-degree angle polish reduce return loss and improve optical signal integrity
Type-B polarity straight cable preserves correct Tx-to-Rx lane mapping between switch and host transceivers
LSZH outer jacket meets data-center fire-safety requirements by limiting smoke and halogen emissions
Aqua jacket color follows industry convention for multimode fiber identification
Supplied with protective dust caps; caps remain in place until installation to preserve end-face cleanliness

What This Is NOT

NOT a 1:2 splitter or breakout cable — this is a straight MPO-12 to MPO-12 assembly
NOT an Active Optical Cable (AOC) — no integrated optics, no signal-conditioning electronics
NOT a copper DAC or ACC
NOT compatible with MPO-12/UPC (blue shell, flat polish) connectors — APC and UPC are physically incompatible
NOT supplied with optical transceivers, adapters, brackets, or installation hardware
NOT a single-mode fiber (SMF) cable — do not use with SMF-only transceivers

Compatibility and Hard Constraints

Switch end: NVIDIA Twin-port OSFP transceivers (e.g., MMA4Z00-NS DR8) installed in NVIDIA Quantum-2 (NDR InfiniBand) or NVIDIA Spectrum-4 (400GbE Ethernet) switches
Host end: single-port OSFP transceiver (e.g., MMA4Z00-NS400) on ConnectX-7/OSFP adapters, or QSFP112 transceiver (e.g., MMA1Z00-NS400) on ConnectX-7 and BlueField-3 DPUs
Both MPO-12 ports of a Twin-port OSFP must use the same fiber type and the same cable plant family
Connector polarity is Type-B; both MPO-12 connectors must be APC (green shell). UPC (blue shell) is incompatible
Verify transceiver pairing, firmware level, port-breakout mode, and driver version on switch and host before deployment
Inspect end-faces before mating; never connect uncapped fiber to a powered transceiver

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the MFP7E10-N010 used for?
The MFP7E10-N010 is a 10m NVIDIA LinkX passive multimode fiber cable with MPO-12/APC connectors on both ends. It is a straight 1-to-1 cable used to connect 400GbE or NDR InfiniBand switches (NVIDIA Quantum-2 or Spectrum-4) to ConnectX-7 adapters or BlueField-3 DPUs, via a Twin-port OSFP transceiver at the switch end and single-port OSFP or QSFP112 transceivers at the host end.
Q. Is this cable passive or active?
Passive optical fiber only. There are no integrated optics, signal-conditioning electronics, or transceiver modules. All protocol, speed, and reach behavior is determined by the installed optical transceivers and the platform configuration.
Q. What transceivers are compatible with the MFP7E10-N010?
At the switch end, NVIDIA Twin-port OSFP transceivers such as MMA4Z00-NS (DR8). At the adapter or DPU end, single-port OSFP transceivers (for example MMA4Z00-NS400) on ConnectX-7/OSFP, or QSFP112 transceivers (for example MMA1Z00-NS400) on ConnectX-7 and BlueField-3 DPUs. Verify transceiver compatibility against your specific platform and firmware before ordering.
Q. Can MFP7E10-N010 mate with MPO-12/UPC connectors?
No. MPO-12/APC (green shell, 8-degree angle polish) and MPO-12/UPC (blue shell, flat polish) connectors are physically incompatible. Do not attempt to mate them. The MFP7E10-N010 uses APC connectors only.
Q. What condition is supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
Refurbished. Each cable is end-face inspected, vendor and MPN markings verified, dust caps replaced where required, and packed in protective anti-static packaging. Ships from EU stock with global B2B logistics.
