Mellanox MCP1600-E002E30N 100GbE QSFP28 DAC Passive Cable 2m

The Mellanox MCP1600-E002E30N is a passive direct-attach copper (DAC) cable engineered for 100GbE connectivity over a 2-meter span. Utilizing QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this cable delivers full-duplex 100 Gigabit Ethernet performance without active signal conditioning, making it ideal for low-latency, power-efficient interconnects in high-density computing environments.

This passive DAC cable is optimized for top-of-rack (ToR) switch to server connections in hyperscale and enterprise data centers. The 2-meter length accommodates standard rack spacing while maintaining signal integrity across the passive copper backbone, supporting sustained line-rate throughput with negligible latency overhead.

Commonly deployed in GPU-accelerated computing clusters and high-performance data analytics platforms, the MCP1600-E002E30N has become a standard component in modern composable infrastructure builds, particularly where NVIDIA DGX systems and GPU-dense server platforms require predictable, deterministic interconnect behavior.

Ideal for

• Top-of-rack to server 100GbE fabric in GPU computing clusters
• Direct server-to-switch connectivity in HPC and AI training environments
• High-bandwidth interconnect for NVIDIA DGX and multi-GPU server nodes
• Data center spine-to-leaf switching architecture at 2-meter distances
• Low-latency storage array to compute host connections
• Machine learning training infrastructure requiring sustained 100GbE throughput
