NVIDIA MFP7E20-N010 Multimode MPO-12/APC to 2x MPO-12/APC Passive Fiber Cable, 10m

1. Product Overview

The NVIDIA MFP7E20-N010 is a high-performance, multimode, 4-channel to two 2-channel splitter passive fiber cable designed for next-generation data center interconnects. This optical fiber cable features MPO-12/APC connectors on both ends, ensuring minimal back reflection and superior signal integrity. It is engineered to support high-speed data transmission protocols including InfiniBand NDR, Ethernet, and NVLink, making it an ideal solution for linking high-performance computing and storage systems.

2. Key Characteristics

• Flexible round LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket for easy installation and enhanced safety
• Push-pull latching mechanism for secure and quick connect/disconnect
• Female-to-Female MPO-12/APC connectors with 8-degree angled polish to reduce optical back reflection
• 50/125 µm OM4 multimode fibers supporting reaches up to 50 meters
• Type-B crossover fiber alignment for direct transceiver-to-transceiver connection
• Compliant with Telcordia GR-1435 and IEC standards for reliability and performance

3. Core Technology & Standards

This passive fiber cable utilizes industry-standard MPO-12/APC connectors compliant with IEC 61754-7 and ANSI/TIA/EIA 604-5. The angled physical contact (APC) polish ensures return loss ≥35 dB, critical for maintaining signal quality in high-speed environments. The cable supports InfiniBand NDR, 400GbE, and NVLink protocols, making it versatile for a range of high-performance applications.

4. Working Principle

The cable uses a Type-B crossover wiring scheme where transmit lanes from one end are routed to receive lanes on the opposite end. The MPO-12/APC connector interfaces precisely with compatible transceivers, using alignment pins and holes for accurate fiber positioning. The 8 active fibers facilitate bidirectional communication, while 4 additional fibers serve as strength members.

5. Typical Applications

• Connecting OSFP DR8 Twin-Port transceivers in NVIDIA switches to ConnectX-7 adapters or BlueField-3 DPUs
• Short-reach optical links within high-performance data centers and HPC clusters
