Description

NVIDIA Mellanox MC2206310-030 QSFP+ QDR/FDR10 40Gb/s Active Optical Cable 30m: an InfiniBand active optical cable (AOC) from the NVIDIA Mellanox LinkX MC2206310 family, with a QSFP+ connector fixed to each end of a 30m multimode fiber run. It carries up to 40Gb/s for InfiniBand QDR and FDR10 links. This is a fiber-based cable assembly, not a passive copper DAC and not a pluggable transceiver. This unit is refurbished.

Engineering Context

Each end contains four fiber optic transceivers, each running up to 10.325Gb/s, for up to 40Gb/s aggregate. The cable draws 0.8W typical and 1W maximum per end from the host port and is specified for a bit error rate better than 1E-15. Lengths of 30m and above use aqua OM3 multimode fiber. At 30m, copper DAC cannot carry 40Gb/s; this optical assembly covers the distance with a 3.3mm cable that bends to a 25mm minimum radius.

Deployment & Use Cases

  • QDR and FDR10 InfiniBand links between racks in HPC clusters
  • Row-to-row runs from compute nodes to leaf or core InfiniBand switches
  • Extending legacy 40Gb/s InfiniBand fabrics where copper reach is exceeded

Technical Specifications

  • OEM: NVIDIA Mellanox (LinkX)
  • Part number: MC2206310-030
  • Type: Active optical cable (AOC)
  • Connector: QSFP+ both ends, SFF-8685 compliant
  • Data rate: Up to 40Gb/s (4 lanes, up to 10.325Gb/s each)
  • Protocol: InfiniBand QDR / FDR10
  • Length: 30m
  • Fiber: Multimode, OM3 (aqua jacket)
  • Power: 0.8W typical, 1W max
  • BER: Better than 1E-15
  • Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C case
  • Minimum bend radius: 25mm
  • Compliance: RoHS, plenum rated (OFNP), Class 1 laser

Compatibility & Hard Constraints

  • Plugs into QSFP/QSFP+ ports on QDR- or FDR10-capable InfiniBand adapters and switches. Confirm the port supports QDR or FDR10 before ordering.
  • NOT a passive copper DAC: it contains powered optics and draws up to 1W per end.
  • NOT a 56Gb/s FDR cable. For FDR 56Gb/s use the MC2207310 family; this cable runs at QDR/FDR10 rates only.
  • NOT field-terminable: the 30m length and connectors are fixed. Ends cannot be separated from the fiber.
  • Hot-pluggable. Supported speeds and modes depend on host firmware and switch configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What are the power and error-rate specs of the MC2206310-030?
The NVIDIA Mellanox MC2206310-030 draws 0.8W typical and 1W maximum per end and is specified for a bit error rate better than 1E-15. It carries up to 40Gb/s over four lanes of up to 10.325Gb/s each.

Q. Is the MC2206310-030 a passive copper DAC?
No. The MC2206310-030 is a 30m active optical cable with powered fiber optic transceivers at each end. Passive copper DAC cannot reach 30m at 40Gb/s.
