Product Overview

The NVIDIA MFP7E20-Nxxx series provides a unique 4‑channel‑to‑two‑2‑channel splitting function within a single MPO-12/APC to dual MPO-12/APC assembly. The MFP7E20-N015 offers 15 meters of reach using low-loss OM4 multimode fiber with aqua LSZH jacket. The angled physical contact (APC) polish (8‑degree) eliminates back reflections and maintains superior optical return loss ≥35 dB. This breakout cable enables one 800G port (twin OSFP) to fan out into two independent 200G/400G links, maximizing port density and reducing switch‑to‑adapter cabling complexity. Each cable is rigorously factory‑tested, Telcordia GR‑1435 compliant, and supports push‑pull latches for easy deployment.

Key Features

Technology & Construction

Built around 50/125μm multimode fiber (OM3 for ≤30m models, OM4 for >30m; MFP7E20-N015 utilizes OM4 for extended 15m performance with low insertion loss). The MPO-12/APC female connectors incorporate alignment holes that match transceiver pins, guaranteeing precise optical alignment. The “crossover” Type‑B interconnection ensures that lane 1 at the 4‑channel end (twin‑port OSFP side) maps to lane 12 at the first branch and lane 2 to lane 11 at the second branch, effectively enabling full-duplex communication. NVIDIA’s stringent insertion loss budget (≤0.35 dB + 0.0004 x L) ensures link reliability across temperature and humidity variations (-40°C to 85°C storage, 0-70°C operating).

Typical Deployments

• Connecting NVIDIA twin‑port OSFP 800G transceivers (e.g., MMA4Z00‑NS) in top‑of‑rack switches to ConnectX‑7 or BlueField‑3 DPU adapters using 400G OSFP/QSFP112 modules.
• High‑density server clustering where two servers share one switch port via 1:2 splitter configuration (each branch serves a separate compute node).
• AI/ML clusters requiring 200G per branch from a single 800G port, reducing cable bulk and optimizing airflow.
• Spine‑Leaf networks in data centers using multimode fiber for short‑reach, cost‑effective high‑speed interconnects up to 50 meters (with up to 2 patch panels).

Compatibility & Ecosystem

The MFP7E20-N015 is designed for seamless integration with NVIDIA end-to-end networking solutions. It mates with all standard MPO‑12/APC optical interfaces (female connectors) and is compatible with:

• Twin‑port OSFP transceivers: MMA4Z00‑NS (800G DR8), MMA4Z00‑NS400 (400G DR4+)
• Single‑port OSFP / QSFP112 transceivers: MMA1Z00‑NS400, QSFP112 400G DR4 modules
• Network adapters: NVIDIA ConnectX‑7, ConnectX‑6 (with appropriate cage/adapter), BlueField‑3 DPUs
• Switches: NVIDIA Quantum-2, Spectrum-4 based platforms with OSFP cages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Handling Precautions

• Do not remove dust caps until the moment of installation. Contaminated connectors must be cleaned using optical connector cleaners (never use alcohol wipes on end face without proper tools).
• Avoid bending the cable beyond a 30 mm radius; sharp kinks can permanently damage fibers.
• Keep cables away from liquids and high‑humidity environments beyond specifications.
• ESD precautions are required when handling transceivers, but the fiber cable itself is non‑conductive.
• Never force the MPO connector; align the key and gently push until latching occurs.

Buyer Checklist – MFP7E20-N015

• Confirm transceivers on both ends require MPO‑12/APC female interface (key up).
• Verify cable length (15m) fits your rack-to-rack or within row distance.
• Check switch ports: twin‑port OSFP ports must be paired with two splitter cables for full 800G utilization.
• Plan for dust caps and cleaning kits – mandatory for maintaining low insertion loss.
• Ensure operating environment temperature range 0-70°C, no excessive bends.
