Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 8x 100G-PAM4 to Dual 4x 100G-PMA4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.
Position Within the Length Range
MCA7J60-N002 occupies the middle of this family between MCA7J60-N001 at 1m (3ft) and MCA7J60-N003 at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
High-Density Rack Integration
In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 30AWG; the minimum bend radius is 32.5mm; the stated power consumption is 1.5W (800G End)/0.6W (400G Per End); the jacket material is PET.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 1.5W (800G End)/0.6W (400G Per End). Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 32.5mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is 800G/400G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include OSFP MSA, CMIS 5.0, IEEE 802.3 ck. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Breakout Port Mapping
The 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
MCA7J60-N002 provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
Ordering Information
Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. This page’s fixed configuration is 2m (7ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.
NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatibility and Factory Testing
The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Where supported by the host, link stability and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original NVIDIA/Mellanox cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies NVIDIA/Mellanox MCA7J60-N002.
What details assist a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.
How should an unused assembly be stored?
Protect both connector ends, keep the cable in a loose bend-safe coil and retain its part-number label so the length and compatibility identity remain traceable.
Can different brands be connected with the same assembly?
Only where both hosts explicitly support the complete interface and compatibility arrangement. Document each end and select the appropriate brand-specific product when required.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production quantities confirmed at order stage. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.
