Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MC2207130-001 FDR 56Gb/s QSFP to QSFP Passive Copper DAC, 1m: This is a 1m passive copper Direct Attach Cable (DAC) for FDR InfiniBand 56Gb/s and 56GbE Ethernet connectivity over a fixed-length QSFP to QSFP assembly. This is a passive (un-amplified) copper assembly, not an active optical or active copper cable, and not a transceiver with a separate patch cord. Condition: New — Sealed/unused stock supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS, supplied as a Lot of 5.
Engineering Context
The MC2207130-001 is a Mellanox VPI-class passive copper assembly, meaning the cable can carry either FDR InfiniBand at 56Gb/s (4x14Gb/s) or 56GbE Ethernet on switches and adapters that support both modes. It uses a QSFP form factor on both ends and integrates EEPROM data so the host can identify the cable type, length, and supported rates. At 1m, the cable is short enough that 56Gb/s passive copper is the standard choice over the active optical equivalents. As a passive assembly there is no per-port power overhead, providing full EMI immunity versus longer-distance optical alternatives when paired with proper cable management.
Deployment & Use Cases
In-rack and adjacent-rack 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand fabric connections in HPC clusters. 56GbE Ethernet uplinks where the host adapter and switch are configured for VPI Ethernet mode. Compute-to-storage links to FDR-enabled storage controllers. Lab and test-bench rebuilds where new cables of this generation are no longer easily sourced.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Compatible with Mellanox FDR InfiniBand switches (SX6000/SX6500/SX6710/SX6720 series) and ConnectX-3 / ConnectX-3 Pro / ConnectX-4 host adapters configured for InfiniBand or Ethernet VPI mode. Operates as a 56GbE Ethernet cable when both endpoints are configured for Ethernet. Not compatible with EDR-only QSFP28 ports — the QSFP form factor here is FDR-class, not QSFP28. Not a breakout cable; does not split into 4xSFP+ or 4xSFP28. Fixed 1m length.
