Productomschrijving
NVIDIA MFP7E10-N005
MPO12/APC Multimode Fiber Cable
High-density passive optical link for 400G/800G InfiniBand and Ethernet. Directly connects twin‑port OSFP switches to OSFP or QSFP112 adapters.
Product Overview
The NVIDIA MFP7E10-Nxxx series is a passive MPO‑12/APC‑to‑MPO‑12/APC multimode fiber cable engineered for short‑reach interconnects in high‑performance data centers. The MFP7E10-N005 (5 meter variant) uses eight active fibers in a Type‑B crossover topology to enable direct attached copper/optical link without polarity reversal adapters. With angled physical contact (APC) 8‑degree polish, back reflections are minimized, ensuring signal integrity for PAM4 modulation up to 800Gb/s.
Each cable is factory‑tested to Telcordia GR‑1435 and supports operating temperatures from 0 to 70°C. The aqua LSZH jacket provides flame retardance while reducing toxic smoke emission, suitable for high‑density switches and GPU clusters.
Key Facts
- Part number: MFP7E10-N005 (5m), also N003/N007/N010 up to N050
- Fiber type: Multimode 50/125µm (OM3 for ≤30m, OM4 for >30m)
- Connector: MPO-12/APC female, green housing, 8° angled polish
- Insertion loss: ≤0.35 dB + 0.0004 × L (max)
- Return loss: ≥35 dB
- Minimum bend radius: 30 mm (dynamic / static)
- Max reach: 50 m (with two patch panels and 4 mated pairs)
Why MPO‑12/APC?
Angle‑polished connectors suppress back reflection that would otherwise degrade laser performance in high‑speed transceivers. Unlike ultra‑polished (UPC) versions, APC allows reliable operation at 50G PAM4 per lane. The green NVIDIA shell quickly identifies APC compatibility, preventing mismating with legacy blue‑shell UPC cables.
Type‑B crossover: Lane 1 at one end connects to lane 12 at the opposite end — ideal for 4‑lane Tx/Rx pairing without external crossover cords.
Technology & Signal Integrity
Designed for 800G DR8 / 400G DR4 architectures, each cable contains 8 multimode fibers arranged in a crossed pinout. The 8‑degree APC interface reduces optical return loss to >35dB, critical for high baud rate transceivers such as NVIDIA MMA4Z00‑NS (twin‑port OSFP). The passive design consumes zero power and introduces no latency, making it ideal for switch‑to‑switch or switch‑to‑DPU links in NDR InfiniBand fabrics.
Rigorous end‑face geometry testing and IL/RL verification ensure each cable meets the stringent requirements of modern 800G Ethernet and NVLink fabric extensions.
Typical Deployments
- Linking twin‑port OSFP 800Gb/s switches (e.g., Quantum-2) to ConnectX‑7 network adapters.
- Connecting NVIDIA BlueField‑3 DPUs (QSFP112 or OSFP) to top‑of‑rack switches.
- Spine‑leaf interconnects in storage servers requiring short‑haul OM3/OM4 links.
- Multimode backbone within a single rack or between adjacent racks (≤50m).
Compatibility
The MFP7E10‑N005 works with any transceiver or system that accepts MPO‑12/APC female connectors and expects Type‑B pinout. Verified compatibility includes:
- NVIDIA MMA4Z00-NS (twin-port OSFP DR8, 800G)
- NVIDIA MMA4Z00-NS400 (single-port OSFP 400G)
- NVIDIA MMA1Z00-NS400 (QSFP112 400G)
- InfiniBand NDR 400G/800G switches and ConnectX‑7 adapters
- Standard 400GbE switches with MPO‑12 APC optical interfaces

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No, this cable is optimized for 400G/800G PAM4 optics. Legacy 100G NRZ transceivers typically use MPO‑12/UPC connectors and different loss budgets. Always verify the transceiver’s connector type.
A: Yes. Type‑B (crossover) is the standard polarity required by NVIDIA for direct 800G twin‑port OSFP to OSFP connections.
A: MFP7E10 is multimode (MMF), MFP7E20 is single‑mode (SMF). For distances ≤50m, multimode is cost‑effective; beyond 50m, select MFP7E20 single‑mode cable.
A: Yes. We suggest using an MPO‑12/APC dry cleaner (e.g., CLICK‑Clean or IBC brand) before each mating.
A: Yes, the MFP7E10-N005 passes NVIDIA’s compliance testing for 800G DR8 and 400G DR4 links.
Handling Precautions
- Do not remove dust caps until the moment of installation. Contamination is the #1 cause of link degradation.
- Always clean both cable connector and transceiver optical receptacle using an MPO‑APC specific cleaner.
- Do not bend the cable tighter than 30 mm radius, especially near connectors.
- Never mix MPO‑APC (green/slanted) with MPO‑UPC (blue/flat) — physical damage will occur.
- Comply with standard ESD precautions when handling pluggable transceivers, although the cable itself is passive.
