NVIDIA 980-9I570-00N030 Passive Fiber Cable MMF MPO12 APC to MPO12 APC 30m

30 metre passive fibre link

This NVIDIA passive fibre cable connects two MPO12 APC multi‑mode ports over a 30 metre run. It carries 400GBase traffic without active electronics, making it a simple physical link for high‑density interconnects. The grey jacket identifies the cable in crowded patch panels. It suits installers who need a straight‑through multi‑mode path at this exact length.

Capacity and headroom

The cable supports 400GBase signalling across its full 30 metre span, so typical 400 Gb/s links operate with the full reach allowance. Multi‑mode fibre limits modal bandwidth, so the link runs out when the transceiver’s reach budget is exceeded or when a longer run is required. No active equalisation means the cable adds no latency or power draw beyond the passive fibre itself. It handles the rated speed until distance or connector loss pushes the budget past spec.

Upgrade path and limits

This part replaces shorter MPO12 APC multi‑mode jumpers when the rack layout demands a 30 metre reach. It also upgrades from lower‑speed multi‑mode cables that cannot carry 400GBase signals. The jump is worth it when the link distance grows beyond the reach of existing cables or when a new 400 Gb/s deployment requires a single 30 metre passive span. It does not suit buyers who need active retiming, single‑mode fibre, or a different connector polish.
