Before you order

  • Confirm the exact SKU, part number, specification option and quantity.
  • Confirm the host platform, port, electrical interface and firmware requirements.
  • Confirm availability, lead time, destination and applicable service terms before payment.
Description
NVIDIA MCP1600-E003E26 is a 3 m, 26 AWG passive copper cable with QSFP28 connectors and four 25G-NRZ lanes. The exact release-table entry establishes 100G InfiniBand EDR support; Ethernet support is not established for this suffix.

Product questions & answers

What protocol is established for these exact suffixes?

The exact MCP1600-E001E30 and MCP1600-E003E26 rows establish 100G InfiniBand EDR. Their current Ethernet column says NA; this package does not transfer Ethernet claims from other MCP1600 variants.

How do the two offered versions differ?

E001E30 is 1 m with 30 AWG copper. E003E26 is 3 m with 26 AWG copper. Both use QSFP28 and four 25G-NRZ lanes.

Does an EEPROM make this active copper?

No. The signal path is passive; the end includes identification memory for the host. NVIDIA specifies 0.1 W maximum for the cable end.

May an unsuffixed or -C cable be substituted?

Not automatically. Preserve the exact E-series length and gauge suffix, then compare the receiving port, protocol and release table for the proposed replacement.

Where does forward error correction take place?

The FAQ places FEC in the switch and network adapter. Match the supported endpoint configuration; a cable does not independently fix a FEC mismatch.

Why can a cable have two minimum bend radii?

The connector exit generally needs a larger bend radius than the cable body. Follow the exact assembly drawing and leave adequate space behind the rack door.
