MCP7Y00-N002NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP7Y00-N002 Compatible 800G OSFP 8 x 100G PAM4 IHS/Finned Top to 2 x 400G OSFP 4 x 100G PAM4 RHS/Flat Top InfiniBand NDR Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 2m (7ft)
For densely populated equipment, the fixed 2m (7ft) version of NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP7Y00-N002 offers a clearly defined 800G link without separate optical modules or patch cords. The DAC assembly uses 800G OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to 2x 400G OSFP (RHS/Flat Top); its power, mechanical and diagnostic details are listed where supplied so port density and cable management can be assessed together.

Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 8x 100G-PAM4 to Dual 4x 100G-PAM4. 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.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
MCP7Y00-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.
Position Within the Length Range
MCP7Y00-N002 is the longest of 4 verified length options in this family. Compared with MCP7Y00-N01A at 1.5m (5ft), it provides 0.5m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.
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 26AWG; the minimum bend radius is 72mm; the stated power consumption is 0.1W @800G, 0.1W @400G; the jacket material is PET.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 0.1W @800G, 0.1W @400G. 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 26AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 72mm. 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 InfiniBand NDR. Listed interface and protocol references include OSFP MSA Rev5.0, IEEE 802.3ck, CMIS 4.0. 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.
Passive Copper Operation
A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.
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. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
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. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original NVIDIA/Mellanox cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP7Y00-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
Available stock is normally prepared for dispatch within one to three working days, while larger production requirements are scheduled with the order. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
