Product Description
Mellanox MCP1600-E003E26 100Gb/s QSFP28 Passive Copper DAC
The Mellanox MCP1600-E003E26 is a high-performance 100Gb/s QSFP28 direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for InfiniBand EDR and Ethernet applications. This 3-meter passive cable assembly integrates four high-speed copper pairs, each operating at 25Gb/s, delivering aggregate bandwidth of 100Gb/s.
Key Benefits
- Short-reach 100G interconnect with passive copper design
- Low power consumption (0.1W typical)
- Bit Error Rate < 1E-15 with Mellanox systems
- Ideal for top-of-rack and switch-to-server links
- LSZH jacket & RoHS compliant
- Hot pluggable design
