NVIDIA Mellanox MFP7E30-N015 Passive Single-Mode Fiber Cable, MPO12 APC to MPO12 APC, 15m: This is a 15-meter passive single-mode (SMF) fiber patch cord with MPO12 APC connectors on both ends. It is a passive fiber assembly (no optics, no power), used for point-to-point single-mode runs in NVIDIA NDR-class fabrics. This is a new unit.
Engineering Context
The MFP7E30-N015 belongs to the MFP7 series of NVIDIA passive fiber assemblies for NDR InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet infrastructure. It uses the MPO12 APC connector — Angled Physical Contact, 8-degree polish — which is the documented NVIDIA NDR fiber interface. APC polish reduces back-reflection in single-mode plant, which is required for high-bandwidth coherent and PAM4 optical signaling. Single-mode fiber supports longer reach than multi-mode and is the preferred medium where structured cabling spans data hall rows.
Deployment & Use Cases
Spine-to-leaf and leaf-to-endpoint runs in NVIDIA Quantum-2 NDR InfiniBand fabrics. Cross-row single-mode fiber connections in HPC and AI cluster deployments. Structured cabling between MDA, IDA, and HDA where APC polish is mandated. Direct point-to-point runs between OSFP/QSFP transceivers configured for single-mode operation at 15-meter reach.
Technical Specifications
OEM: NVIDIA Mellanox
Part Number: MFP7E30-N015
Cable Type: Passive Straight Fiber Patch Cord
Fiber Type: Single-Mode (SMF)
Connector A: MPO12 APC (8° polish)
Connector B: MPO12 APC (8° polish)
Length: 15 m
Optics: None — passive fiber assembly
Polarity: Per NVIDIA MFP7 series specification
Condition: New — Sealed/Unused
Compatibility & Constraints
Compatible with NVIDIA Quantum-2 NDR switches and ConnectX-7 / BlueField-3 platforms that publish MPO12 APC fiber as the supported connector. Requires transceivers at both ends — passive fiber alone does not produce signal. APC polish is not interchangeable with UPC/PC connectors; do not mate with UPC patch cords. Single-mode fiber is not interchangeable with multi-mode patch cords. Fixed 15 m length; cannot be shortened or extended without re-termination.
