MCP1600-E001E30

This 1 meter passive copper cable is built for direct device-to-device connections at 100GbE speeds. It uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends to link network switches, servers, or storage systems with minimal signal loss.

Often found in data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cable simplifies short-range connections where optical transceivers are not required. Network engineers and system integrators favor it for cost-effective, reliable 100GbE links.

Key Features

• Delivers 100 Gigabit Ethernet over a short 1 meter link
• Uses standard QSFP28 connectors compatible with Mellanox gear
• Passive design reduces power consumption compared to active cables
• Durable build suited for dense data center racks
• Ideal for low-latency, high-bandwidth applications

This cable is commonly deployed within server racks and switch clusters where high throughput and short distances are critical. Its passive copper design keeps latency low and power use minimal, making it a practical choice for tight integration in modern networking setups.
