NVIDIA MFP7E20-N015 15m MPO APC 1:2 Fiber Splitter Cable for 400G/NDR Data

The NVIDIA MFP7E20-N015 is a factory-terminated multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-density, high-bandwidth network architectures. It serves as a critical passive interconnect component, enabling a single high-radix switch port to serve two downstream endpoints. This is essential for building cost-effective and scalable spine-leaf networks, AI/ML clusters, and storage backbones where maximizing switch port utility is paramount. The cable is part of a certified ecosystem for NVIDIA's high-performance networking solutions.

• Breakout Configuration: 1xMPO-12 to 2xMPO-12 splitter topology for port multiplication.
• High-Speed Support: Engineered for 400 Gigabit Ethernet and NDR (400G) InfiniBand protocols.
• Premium Connectors: MPO-12 connectors with 8° Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish to minimize optical back-reflection (≥35 dB RL).
• Direct Attach Wiring: Implements a Type B (crossed) fiber map, enabling direct transceiver-to-transceiver connection.
• Durable & Safe Construction: Features a flexible, aqua-colored LSZH-OFNR jacket that is flame-retardant and low-smoke.
• Quality Assurance: Manufactured in compliance with IEC 61754-7 and Telcordia GR-1435 standards, ensuring reliability.

This cable integrates proven optical and mechanical technologies to ensure interoperability and performance:

The cable functions as a passive optical splitter. The single "root" MPO connector engages with a Twin-Port OSFP transceiver in a switch (e.g., NVIDIA MMA4Z00-NS). This transceiver presents an aggregate 800G signal across 8 optical lanes. Inside the cable assembly, these 8 active fibers are physically split into two distinct groups of 4 fibers each. Each group is routed to one of the two "leaf" MPO connectors. These leaf ends plug into standard single-port 400G OSFP or QSFP112 transceivers housed in servers or storage appliances. The Type B crossed wiring is critical: it ensures that the transmit lane (Tx) from pin 1 on the switch transceiver correctly aligns with the receive lane (Rx) on pin 12 of the server transceiver, and vice versa, enabling full-duplex communication without external cross-connect modules.

• Data Center Aggregation: Connecting high-capacity spine/aggregation switches (with 800G ports) to multiple top-of-rack (ToR) switches or high-performance servers.
• AI & High-Performance Computing: Providing dense connectivity from network switches to compute nodes equipped with 400G network cards (like ConnectX-7) in GPU clusters for distributed training and simulation.
• Hyperconverged & Storage Networks: Facilitating high-bandwidth links for NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF) deployments between storage arrays and compute servers.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Deploying in hyperscale environments to optimize cost-per-port and cabling density within racks.
• Network Interface Card Connectivity: Enabling a single switch port to connect to two servers, each with a high-performance NIC card, effectively doubling connection density.

Other available lengths in the MFP7E20 series: 3m (N003), 5m (N005), 7m (N007), 10m (N010), 20m (N020), 30m (N030), 50m (N050).

• Maximized Port Efficiency: Doubles the number of server connections per switch port compared to standard cabling, reducing per-port costs and improving rack density.
• Guaranteed Signal Integrity: Factory-terminated APC connectors ensure consistently low insertion loss and high return loss, critical for error-free operation in PAM4-based 400G links.
• Ecosystem Assurance: As a genuine NVIDIA component, it is tested and validated for seamless interoperability within the NVIDIA networking ecosystem, including switches, transceivers, and network cards.
• Installation Readiness: Supplied with protective dust caps and requiring no field termination, enabling rapid, error-free deployment.
• Enhanced Safety Profile: The LSZH jacket material improves safety in enclosed data center environments by reducing toxic smoke emission in fire scenarios.
