NVIDIA Mellanox MFP7E40-N050 400Gb/s NDR Passive Splitter Fiber, MPO12 APC to 2x MPO12 APC, SMF 50m (NVIDIA P/N 980-9I56R-000050): This is a 50-meter passive splitter fiber cable with one MPO12 APC trunk connector breaking out to two MPO12 APC connectors over single-mode fiber. It is a passive structured-fiber splitter for 400Gb/s NDR breakout - it is NOT an active optical cable (AOC), not a DAC, and not a transceiver. Condition: New.
Engineering Context: Single-mode fiber (SMF) construction with MPO12 APC connectors (8-degree angled physical contact ferrules to minimize back-reflection on SMF). Passive splitter geometry maps the 12 fibers of the trunk MPO into two 12-fiber MPO breakouts. Targeted at 400Gb/s NDR rates when paired with NVIDIA OSFP NDR transceivers. The 50-meter reach supports in-row and adjacent-row structured cabling.
Deployment & Use Cases: Breakout patch between a single 400G NDR OSFP port and two downstream NDR endpoints in Quantum-2 InfiniBand and 400GbE Ethernet fabrics; structured-cabling backbone in HPC and AI training clusters using OSFP-based platforms; cross-row connectivity in hyperscale and enterprise data centers needing 50-meter SMF reach.

Compatibility & Constraints: Designed for NVIDIA OSFP NDR optical transceivers in Quantum-2 InfiniBand and Spectrum-X 400G Ethernet environments. APC connectors mate ONLY with APC-mating transceivers/patches - do not connect to UPC ferrules; APC-to-UPC connections introduce unacceptable back-reflection and signal loss. Single-mode fiber only - not interchangeable with multi-mode (OM3/OM4/OM5) cabling. Verify port count and breakout topology before installation; this cable provides 1-to-2 splitting, not a 1-to-1 trunk.
