NVIDIA MFP7E10-N030 — 30m Passive MMF MPO-12/APC Fiber Cable (400GbE / NDR)
Technical Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox MFP7E10-N030 is a 30-meter passive optical fiber cable in the NVIDIA LinkX family, engineered for 400GbE Ethernet and NDR (400 Gb/s) InfiniBand fabrics. It is a straight (1-to-1) 8-fiber MPO-12/APC to MPO-12/APC multimode (OM4) assembly used to interconnect NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand switches or Spectrum-4 Ethernet switches with ConnectX-7 network adapters or BlueField-3 DPUs. The cable contains no active electronics — protocol, lane mapping, and reach are governed entirely by the installed optical transceivers (Twin-port OSFP at the switch, single-port OSFP or QSFP112 at the host). Condition supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS: Refurbished.

What This Is NOT

NOT a 1:2 splitter, breakout, or hybrid cable — straight MPO-12 to MPO-12 only.
NOT an Active Optical Cable (AOC) — no integrated optics, no signal conditioning, no end-attached transceivers.
NOT a copper DAC or ACC assembly.
NOT compatible with MPO-12/UPC (flat polish, blue shell) connectors — APC and UPC polishes are mechanically incompatible.
NOT a single-mode fiber (SMF / OS2) cable — do not pair with SMF transceivers.
NOT bundled with optical transceivers, patch panels, brackets, or installation accessories — cable only.

Compatibility and Hard Constraints

Switch-side transceiver: NVIDIA Twin-port OSFP, e.g. MMA4Z00-NS (multi-mode 800G DR8) installed in Quantum-2 (QM9700 / QM9790) InfiniBand switches or Spectrum-4 (SN5600) Ethernet switches.
Host-side transceiver: Single-port OSFP MMA4Z00-NS400 in ConnectX-7 / OSFP host interfaces, or QSFP112 MMA1Z00-NS400 in ConnectX-7 / BlueField-3 QSFP112 host interfaces.
Polarity: Type-B crossover — verify against your structured-cabling plan before deployment.
Connector polish: APC only (8-degree angled). Do not mate with UPC.
Fiber class: OM4 multimode — pair only with MMF / VCSEL-based transceivers (850 nm).
Reach budget: 30 m well within the 50 m OM4 reach for 400G-DR / NDR DR optics.
Cleanliness: Keep MPO end-faces capped until installation; clean before mating.
Always validate switch firmware, adapter driver, and port-mode (Ethernet vs. InfiniBand, OSFP vs. QSFP112) before deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the NVIDIA MFP7E10-N030?
The MFP7E10-N030 is a 30m NVIDIA LinkX passive multimode (OM4) optical fiber cable. It is a straight MPO-12/APC to MPO-12/APC 8-fiber assembly for 400GbE Ethernet and NDR (400 Gb/s) InfiniBand links between Quantum-2 / Spectrum-4 switches and ConnectX-7 adapters or BlueField-3 DPUs. No active electronics.
Q. What transceivers pair with the MFP7E10-N030?
Switch end: NVIDIA Twin-port OSFP, e.g. MMA4Z00-NS (multi-mode 800G DR8). Host end: single-port OSFP MMA4Z00-NS400 in ConnectX-7 / OSFP, or QSFP112 MMA1Z00-NS400 in ConnectX-7 / BlueField-3 QSFP112. Verify against your specific platform before ordering.
Q. Is the MFP7E10-N030 passive or active?
Passive. There are no signal-conditioning electronics, no integrated optics, and no transceiver modules in the assembly. Protocol, speed, and reach are determined entirely by the connected transceivers and the host / switch port mode.
Q. Can the MFP7E10-N030 be used with MPO-12/UPC connectors?
No. MPO-12/APC (green shell, 8-degree angle polish) and MPO-12/UPC (blue shell, flat polish) are mechanically incompatible. The MFP7E10-N030 uses APC connectors only — do not attempt to mate with UPC ports or jumpers.
Q. What condition does T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS supply?
Refurbished. Each cable is end-face inspected, vendor marking verified against MPN, dust caps replaced where required, and packed individually in protective anti-static packaging. EU stock, B2B invoicing, worldwide express logistics.
