Direct-attach cable for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR
This Mellanox passive copper cable carries up to 200Gb/s over a 2m link. It uses QSFP56 connectors and four lanes of 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation. The assembly is IBTA InfiniBand HDR compliant and meets SFF-8665 mechanical and electrical requirements. A single 3.3V supply powers the module across an operating case temperature of 0-70C.
Suited for rack-to-rack
Data-centre engineers building HDR clusters or high-throughput storage fabrics will use this cable for short-reach connections. It is not intended for runs longer than the supplied length, nor for equipment that only supports lower-speed QSFP interfaces. Buyers who need extended reach or optical media should select a different solution.
The 200Gb/s HDR data rate over QSFP56 decides fit
Verify that both endpoints negotiate 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and present QSFP56 cages before ordering. The passive design requires no external power beyond the 3.3V slot supply and delivers a bit error rate better than 1E-15. Hot-pluggable operation allows insertion or removal without system downtime.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the link is running at 200Gb/s after connecting the cable?
Check the switch or HCA management interface for an active HDR link at 200Gb/s and verify the reported BER is better than 1E-15.
What comes in the box and do I need separate transceivers?
The package contains the 2m passive copper cable with integrated QSFP56 ends; no separate transceivers are required.
Which cable version should I choose for a 2m IB HDR 200Gb/s link?
Select the MCP1650-H002E26 model — it is specified for 200Gb/s HDR over 2m with QSFP56 connectors.
