Nvidia Mfp7e10-Nxxx Optical Multimode Fiber Cable Mfp7e10-N020 (980-9I57Z-000020) Mmf, MPO12 APC to MPO12 APC, 20m
NVIDIA MFP7E10-N020 Optical Fiber Cable
1. Product Overview
The NVIDIA MFP7E10-N020 is a high-performance passive optical fiber cable designed for reliable, high-speed interconnects in modern data centers. This 20-meter multimode cable features MPO-12/APC connectors on both ends and is engineered to support InfiniBand NDR, Ethernet, and NVLink protocols. It ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for superior signal integrity.
2. Key Characteristics
- MPO-12/APC female connectors with angled polish for minimal back reflection
- Type-B crossover fiber mapping for direct transceiver-to-transceiver connection
- Low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket for enhanced safety
- Supports up to 400G/800G data rates
- Compliant with IEC 61754-7 and Telcordia GR-1435 standards
3. Technology & Standards
The MFP7E10 optical fiber cable utilizes industry-standard 50/125 µm OM4 multimode fibers and MPO-12/APC connectors compliant with IEC 61754-7. It is designed for use with NVIDIA ConnectX-7 adapters, BlueField-3 DPUs, and compatible OSFP/QSFP112 transceivers.
4. Working Principle
This passive fiber cable uses a Type-B crossover configuration. Fibers from pins 1–4 on one end connect to pins 9–12 on the opposite end, ensuring proper Tx/Rx alignment between transceivers. The APC polish minimizes optical back reflection, preserving signal quality.
5. Applications
- Data center spine-leaf interconnects
- High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
- AI and machine learning infrastructure
- Storage area networks (SAN)
- Cloud infrastructure links
