NVIDIA 6.56ft Passive Copper Splitter Cable

Overview

The NVIDIA MCP7Y60-H002 is a passive copper splitter cable that connects a single 400 Gb/s InfiniBand HDR port with an OSFP connector to two separate 200 Gb/s QSFP56 endpoints. This cable efficiently divides the bandwidth from one high-speed source into two channels, enabling data distribution across two devices without sacrificing performance. With a length of 2 meters, it supports direct-attach passive connectivity, making it ideal for short-distance connections within dense server racks or data center environments.

Key features

• Splits a 400 Gb/s OSFP port into two 200 Gb/s QSFP56 endpoints, maximizing port utilization
• Passive copper design eliminates the need for external power or active signal conditioning
• 2-meter length provides flexibility for connections within racks or cabinets
• Maintains reliable and fast data transmission by evenly dividing bandwidth between two channels
• Reduces network complexity and power consumption in high-performance computing clusters

Key specs

• Bandwidth: 400 Gb/s input split into two 200 Gb/s outputs
• Connector types: OSFP (input), QSFP56 (outputs)
• Cable type: Passive copper
• Length: 2 meters (6.56 feet)
• Compatibility: InfiniBand HDR networks

Connectivity and compatibility

This splitter cable is designed to work seamlessly with InfiniBand HDR systems, connecting high-bandwidth switches or servers that have a single 400 Gb/s OSFP port to devices requiring 200 Gb/s QSFP56 connections. It fits well in data centers where efficient port distribution and high-speed data transfer are critical.

Ideal uses and environments

The NVIDIA MCP7Y60-H002 is well suited to data center setups, dense server racks, and high-performance computing clusters where space and power efficiency are priorities. It helps network administrators extend the functionality of existing ports without adding complexity or power demands, supporting demanding applications that require consistent high data rates.
