Use for short-range server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in data centers.

## Long description

MELLANOX Nvidia MCP1700-B003E is a 3 m passive InfiniBand / fibre optic cable with QSFP connectors on both ends, engineered for 40 GbE interconnects and short-range high-speed data links. The cable offers direct QSFP-to-QSFP connectivity suitable for links between servers, switches and adapters in data-centre environments. Its black jacket and QSFP form-factor make it compatible with equipment that supports QSFP interfaces and passive copper or multimode fibre connections for distances up to 3 metres.
Advantages
The cable delivers a reliable, low-latency electrical/fibre link optimized for 40 Gb/s applications, enabling high throughput and reduced signal loss across short distances. Passive design eliminates the need for active circuitry in the cable itself, simplifying deployment and reducing power consumption at the link. A standardized QSFP connector on both ends ensures straightforward compatibility with QSFP ports on switches, network adapters and HPC nodes.
Suitable for
Short-range server-to-switch connections in data centres
Switch-to-switch uplinks and cross-connects within racks
High-performance computing clusters requiring 40 GbE interconnects
Network adapter to top-of-rack switch connections supporting QSFP
Key specifications
Cable type: passive InfiniBand / fibre optic QSFP-to-QSFP
Nominal data rate: 40 Gb/s
Connector type: QSFP on both ends
Length: 3 metres
Colour: black outer jacket
Intended use: short-range, high-speed interconnects in data-centre environments
How to use
Install the cable by aligning and inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until it seats securely; follow equipment vendor guidance for port orientation and latch engagement. Use the cable for direct links between QSFP-equipped network devices such as switches, network interface cards and servers. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible QSFP ports and verify link negotiation and speed settings in the devices' management interfaces. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and maintain the specified 3 m distance for optimal performance.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, route the cable to minimize bend radius and mechanical stress, keep it clear of power cables to reduce interference risk, and confirm that connected devices are configured for 40 GbE operation. Replace cables showing physical damage or connector wear and follow data-centre cable management practices to maintain airflow and access.
