NVIDIA Mellanox MFP7E30-N020 400G NDR Passive Single-Mode Fiber Trunk Cable, MPO12 APC to MPO12 APC, 20m: This is a 20-meter passive single-mode fiber (SMF) trunk cable terminated with MPO12 APC connectors at both ends, intended for use with NVIDIA OSFP NDR-class 400Gb/s parallel-SMF transceivers. This is a straight 1:1 trunk — it is not a splitter and it does not contain transceivers, electronics, or active optics. This is a new, unused unit.
Engineering Context
The MFP7E30-N020 is part of NVIDIA's NDR structured-cabling family, designed to mate with parallel-SMF OSFP optical modules at 1310nm. APC end-faces are required to suppress reflections that would degrade the 400G PAM4 link. The 12-fiber array carries 4 send and 4 receive lanes for a 400G link, with the remaining fibers reserved per the standard MPO12 lane plan. At 20 meters this trunk is sized for in-row aggregation runs that exceed the typical 5–7m DAC reach but stay short of long inter-room cabling.
Deployment & Use Cases
In-row 400G NDR uplinks from a Quantum-2 QM9700 leaf switch to an aggregation switch in the same data hall. ConnectX-7 NDR adapter to top-of-rack OSFP NDR port over a structured fiber path. 400GbE NDR Ethernet spine-to-leaf interconnects where copper has run out of reach. Pre-installed runs in multi-rack GPU pods that will later be lit with OSFP DR4/FR4-class optics.
Technical Specifications
OEM: NVIDIA Mellanox
Part Number: MFP7E30-N020
Cable Type: Passive Trunk Fiber Cable (no electronics)
Connectors: MPO12 APC to MPO12 APC (1:1 straight)
Fiber Type: Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)
End-Face: APC (Angled Physical Contact)
Length: 20m
Application Class: 400G NDR (parallel SMF)
Protocol Support: InfiniBand NDR and 400GbE Ethernet, when paired with the matching OSFP transceivers
Condition: New — Tested and certified by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS
Compatibility & Constraints
Compatible with NVIDIA OSFP NDR transceivers that use parallel-SMF MPO12 APC interfaces (DR4/FR4-class) and with NVIDIA Quantum-2 NDR switches and ConnectX-7 NDR adapters. Not a transceiver and not an Active Optical Cable — OSFP optics must be purchased separately for both ends. Not compatible with multi-mode-only OSFP modules (SR-class), with UPC end-face MPO equipment, or with QSFP-DD ports. The cable does not split a port; it is a straight 1:1 trunk only.
