Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MC2207310-030 56Gb/s QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 30m LSZH: This is a 30-meter active optical cable (AOC) for 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand and 56GbE point-to-point links. The assembly integrates VCSEL transceivers on both ends with multi-mode fiber and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. This is a fixed-length integrated cable, not a transceiver pair plus patch cord. This is a new unit.
Engineering Context
The MC2207310-030 covers reach the MC2207130 passive copper series cannot reach (passive copper at 56Gb/s tops out at a few meters). At 30m the AOC sits in the typical end-of-row to top-of-rack range in HPC and InfiniBand fabrics. The cable is lightweight versus copper bundles and provides EMI immunity along the full length.
Deployment & Use Cases
FDR InfiniBand spine-to-leaf links in HPC clusters. End-of-row Mellanox 56GbE aggregation to ToR. GPU compute fabric extension across rows in mid-size data halls. Storage-to-compute fabric runs where 30m fits the cabinet plan.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox SwitchX/SwitchX-2 and Switch-IB switches and ConnectX-3/ConnectX-3 Pro VPI adapters with QSFP+ ports. Not a QSFP28/QSFP56 cable; will not negotiate 100Gb/s or 200Gb/s rates. Not a breakout AOC. Fixed 30m length, no re-termination. 56Gb/s operation requires Mellanox-rated ports on both ends — third-party 56Gb/s ports are not supported.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the MC2207310-030?
The MC2207310-030 is a 30m active optical cable with QSFP+ connectors, rated for InfiniBand FDR 56Gb/s.
