NVIDIA MFP7E20-N015 Optical Fiber Cable - High-Density 800G/400G Data Center Solution

1. Product Overview

The NVIDIA MFP7E20-N015 is a high-performance multimode optical fiber cable designed for next-generation data centers. This passive fiber cable features a 4-channel to dual 2-channel splitter configuration, enabling flexible connectivity between 800G OSFP transceivers and 400G OSFP/QSFP112 endpoints. With a length of 15 meters and OM4 fiber grading, it supports high-speed data transmission up to 200G per lane with minimal signal loss and reflection.

2. Key Characteristics

• MPO-12/APC angled polished connectors for reduced back reflection
• Type-B crossover fiber mapping for direct transceiver-to-transceiver connectivity
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for enhanced safety
• 50/125 µm multimode fibers optimized for short-reach applications
• Supports InfiniBand NDR, Ethernet, and NVLink protocols
• Telcordia GR-1435 and IEC 61754-7 compliant

3. Technology & Standards

The MFP7E20 series utilizes MPO-12/APC connectors with an 8-degree polish to minimize optical back reflection and maintain signal integrity. It complies with international standards including IEC 61754-7, ANSI/TIA/EIA 604-5, and is tested under GR-1435 requirements. The cable supports both OSFP and QSFP112 form factors, making it a versatile optical fiber cable for high-density environments.

4. Working Principle

The cable uses a Type-B crossover topology where transmit lanes from one end are aligned with receive lanes on the opposite end. Each MPO-12 connector utilizes 8 active fibers (4 Tx, 4 Rx) and 4 inactive strength members. The angled physical contact (APC) surface deflects reflected light away from the transceiver, ensuring clean signal transmission with return loss ≥35 dB.

5. Applications

Ideal for linking NVIDIA ConnectX-7 adapters and BlueField-3 DPUs to 800G OSFP switches in:

• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Cloud data centers
• AI training infrastructure
• Storage area networks (SANs)

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this cable with MPO-12/UPC transceivers?
A: No. APC and UPC connectors are not compatible due to different polish angles.

Q: What is the maximum reach?
A: Up to 50 meters with OM4 fiber, assuming no more than 4 connector junctions.

Q: Is this fiber cable compatible with QSFP112 ports?
A: Yes, via MPO to duplex fiber breakout cassettes.

10. Precautions

• Always use optical cleaning tools before insertion
• Do not mix straight and splitter cables in the same twin-port OSFP transceiver
• Avoid bending radius below 30 mm
• Store in dry conditions between -40°C and 85°C
