NVIDIA MFP7E20-N015 1:2 Splitter Cable 800G to 2x400G MPO-12/APC OM4, 15m

The Mellanox MFP7E20-N015 is a passive optical splitter cable that converts a twin-port OSFP 800G transceiver interface into two independent 200G/400G links. Using 8 active multimode fibers (50/125µm) in an MPO-12/APC to dual MPO-12/APC breakout configuration, it provides a cost-efficient, low-loss solution for connecting top-of-rack switches to ConnectX-7 adapters and BlueField-3 DPUs. The angled physical contact (APC) polish minimizes back reflections, ensuring stable operation in high-speed PAM4 links.

• Breakout capability: 1× MPO-12/APC to 2× MPO-12/APC for dual 200G/400G outputs
• Multimode fiber: 50/125µm OM3 (≤30m) / OM4 (≤50m) with Aqua LSZH jacket
• Type-B crossover wiring: Directly mates TX to RX for straight-through transceiver pairing
• Low insertion loss: ≤0.35 dB + 0.0004×L (dB) per connector end face
• APC polish (8°): Reduces optical back reflection to ≥35 dB return loss
• Push-pull latching: Quick release, easy installation in dense ports
• Compliance: Telcordia GR-1435, IEC 61754-7, RoHS, Class 1 laser safety
• Protocol support: InfiniBand HDR, 200G/400G Ethernet, NVLink

The MFP7E20-N015 leverages NVIDIA's precision optical engineering. The MPO-12/APC connectors feature alignment holes that mate with transceiver guide pins, ensuring exact fiber alignment. The 8-degree angled polish eliminates Fresnel reflections that can cause signal distortion in PAM4 modulation. Each cable is factory-tested for insertion loss, return loss, and polarity. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket reduces toxic emissions in fire scenarios, making it suitable for data center environments.

• Switch-to-Server: Connect NVIDIA Spectrum-4 or Quantum-2 switches to ConnectX-7 NICs and BlueField-3 DPUs in compute/storage racks
• 400G to 2×200G breakout: Use with twin-port OSFP DR8 transceivers to split into two 200G links for dual servers
• High-performance computing (HPC): Low-latency interconnection for AI training clusters and distributed storage
• Data center inter-rack: Short-reach links (up to 50m) with patch panel integration

Transceivers: NVIDIA MMA4Z00-NS (twin OSFP), MMA4Z00-NS400 (OSFP), MMA1Z00-NS400 (QSFP112) - all with MPO-12/APC interface.

Switches / Adapters: NVIDIA Spectrum-4, Quantum-2, ConnectX-7, BlueField-3, and any 400G/200G port that accepts OSFP/QSFP112 with MPO-12/APC.

Fiber type: Multimode OM3 (≤30m) or OM4 (≤50m). Aqua jacket. Cannot be mixed with UPC (blue) connectors - APC only.

For lengths not listed, please contact our sales team for custom options.

• Confirm your transceiver port is MPO-12/APC (not UPC)
• Verify required cable length (N015 = 15m)
• Ensure your fiber plant is OM3 or OM4 multimode
• Check that your switch/adapter supports Type-B polarity
• Review the insertion loss budget of your link (including patch panels)

• Keep dust caps on connectors until the moment of installation to prevent contamination
• Always clean both the cable ferrule and transceiver receptacle with an approved optical cleaner before mating
• Do not bend the cable tighter than the 30 mm minimum radius
• Avoid exposure to liquids or solvents; LSZH jacket is not chemical-resistant to all substances
• Observe standard ESD precautions during handling (though the cable is passive, it mates to ESD-sensitive transceivers)
