Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum data rate supported by the Mellanox MCP1600-E003E26 cable? +
The MCP1600-E003E26 is engineered to support high-speed data transmission up to 100Gb/s. Designed for InfiniBand EDR environments, this passive copper cable ensures low-latency connectivity for bandwidth-intensive enterprise applications and high-performance computing clusters that demand consistent 100GbE throughput.
What length and wire gauge does this Mellanox QSFP28 DAC utilize? +
This specific direct attach copper cable features a 3-meter length, providing optimal reach for top-of-rack deployments. It is constructed using 26AWG copper cabling, which strikes an ideal balance between signal integrity and physical flexibility for clean cable management within dense server cabinets and data center racks.
Is the Mellanox MCP1600-E003E26 compatible with standard QSFP28 ports? +
Yes, this module is fully compliant with standard QSFP28 interfaces. It is designed to plug directly into QSFP28 ports on switches, network interface cards, and host channel adapters, making it a highly reliable solution for point-to-point connections in high-speed networking infrastructures.
Does this passive copper cable require external power for operation? +
As a passive DAC cable, the MCP1600-E003E26 consumes negligible power compared to active optical cables. It relies on the host port to handle signal processing, which significantly reduces the thermal load in your networking equipment and lowers overall power consumption in your data center environment.
What are the primary use cases for the 3-meter MCP1600-E003E26 cable? +
This cable is best suited for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connectivity where high-speed, low-latency performance is critical. It is frequently deployed in InfiniBand EDR fabrics, server-to-switch links, and clustered computing environments where you need a cost-effective, robust physical layer connection without the complexity of transceivers and fiber patches.
How does the performance of this passive DAC compare to fiber optics? +
Passive copper cables like the MCP1600-E003E26 offer excellent cost-to-performance ratios for short-reach applications. While fiber optics are necessary for long-distance runs, this 3-meter copper cable provides a simplified, plug-and-play architecture that eliminates the signal conversion latency often associated with active transceiver modules at 100GbE speeds.
Are there specific configuration requirements for using this cable with Mellanox hardware? +
The cable is designed for seamless integration with Mellanox networking hardware, typically requiring no specialized software configuration. Once the cable is securely seated into the QSFP28 ports, the link should negotiate automatically at the required InfiniBand EDR or 100GbE data rates, provided the host ports are correctly configured.
What color and physical design characteristics should I expect? +
The MCP1600-E003E26 features a standard black jacket, which is ideal for maintaining a clean and professional appearance in server racks. The high-quality shielding and 26AWG construction are designed to maintain structural integrity while allowing for a reasonable bend radius during installation in tight networking cabinets.
