Mellanox MCP1600-C001E30N QSFP28 Passive Copper DAC 100GbE (1m) Black

Overview: The Mellanox MCP1600-C001E30N is a QSFP28 passive direct-attach copper (DAC) cable engineered for 100Gb/s Ethernet links. It uses four high-speed copper pairs, each capable of up to 25GbE, and the QSFP28 plugs contain EEPROMs that expose product information to the host. This passive, power-efficient copper assembly is a low-cost, low-power alternative to fiber for short-reach interconnects in data centers, delivering increased port bandwidth and density with reduced power consumption. Standards and length behavior: MCP1600 series cables up to 2m support IEEE 802.3bj CA-25G-N (Cable Assembly No-FEC) and provide low latency. Cables in the 3m–5m range support IEEE 802.3bj CA-25G-L (Cable Assembly Long) with RS-FEC (Reed Solomon Forward Error Correction) enabled. Note: 2.5m and 3m lengths are offered in two variants that support either CA-25G-N or CA-25G-L.
