What it is
This is a Nvidia Mellanox passive copper InfiniBand cable, model MCP1600-E003E26. It uses QSFP28 connectors and supports up to 100Gb/s with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) signaling, measuring 1 metre with 26 AWG wire gauge in black.
Who it's for
Suitable for data centre setups or high-performance computing environments requiring short-range, high-speed interconnects between compatible QSFP28 ports. Commonly used for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections.
Why it's good
Passive copper cables offer low latency and power consumption compared to optical options at short distances. The 1m length and 26 AWG construction balance flexibility with performance for reliable 100Gb/s links.
When to choose it
Use this cable when you need a cost-effective, high-bandwidth connection inside a rack or close proximity hardware. Confirm your devices support QSFP28 passive copper before selecting.
Check with Creative Systems to verify compatibility and availability for your InfiniBand or Ethernet QSFP28 requirements.
