Black QSFP28 passive copper cable 1m 100Gbit/s 30AWG

Mellanox Technologies

Mellanox Technologies MCP1600-E001E30 fibre optic cable QSFP28 1m 100 Gbit/s 30 AWG

SKU CH-GV5W-9MVR9 MPN MCP1600-E001E30

A 1 m passive QSFP28 cable carrying 100 Gbit/s over 30 AWG copper with RoHS-compliant, halogen-free construction

  • TypeConsumer Electronics
  • 100 Gbit/s bandwidth for high-speed networking
  • 1 metre passive copper link needs no external power
  • QSFP28 connectors fit compatible network devices directly
  • 30 AWG gauge keeps cable routing flexible
  • RoHS certified and lead-free for environmental compliance

Direct-Attach QSFP28 Link for 100 Gbit/s Networks

This Mellanox Technologies MCP1600-E001E30 cable provides a passive fibre optic connection rated at 100 Gbit/s. It suits data-centre operators and high-performance computing clusters that need a short, fixed-length link between QSFP28 ports. The 1 m reach matches rack-adjacent or intra-rack cabling plans. No active circuitry means zero power draw from the switch ports.

Black 30 AWG Passive Assembly with Dual QSFP28 Ends

The cable uses 30 AWG conductors in a black, halogen-free jacket that meets RoHS requirements. Both ends terminate in QSFP28 network connectors, so the link plugs straight into compatible transceivers or switch ports without adapters. Lead-free construction supports environmentally friendly deployment. The passive design eliminates firmware compatibility checks that active cables sometimes trigger.

100 Gbit/s Fixed-Length Passive Reach

The single specification that decides fit is the 100 Gbit/s data transfer rate combined with a fixed 3.28 ft length. Buyers who need longer runs, active signal conditioning, or a different connector type must select another part. This unit delivers exactly the rated speed over its set distance with no configuration required.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the QSFP28 interface support on this cable?

The QSFP28 connectors are rated for 100 Gbit/s, which is the maximum throughput the passive assembly can carry.

What physical space does the 1 m QSFP28 cable need for routing?

The cable is 3.28 ft long with 30 AWG conductors and QSFP28 plugs on both ends; plan enough slack so the connectors seat fully without tension.

How do you install the QSFP28 connectors and what step is often missed?

Align each QSFP28 plug with the port, push until the latch clicks, then verify the latch is fully engaged; the common mistake is stopping before the click.
