NVIDIA Mellanox MFP7E30-N050 400G NDR Passive Single-Mode Fiber Trunk Cable, MPO12 APC to MPO12 APC, 50m: This is a 50-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-N050 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 50 meters this trunk fits cross-row aggregation within a data hall while staying well inside the SMF reach budget of NDR optical modules.
Deployment & Use Cases
Cross-row trunks between Quantum-2 NDR InfiniBand switches in mid-size HPC clusters. Spine-to-leaf cabling in 400GbE NDR Ethernet fabrics where copper and AOC reach is exceeded. GPU pod uplinks where one OSFP NDR port on a Quantum-2 QM9700 switch needs to reach a ConnectX-7 NDR adapter several rows away. Pre-installed riser cabling between cabinets that will later be lit with OSFP DR4/FR4-class optics.
Technical Specifications
OEM: NVIDIA Mellanox
Part Number: MFP7E30-N050
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: 50m
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.
