NVIDIA InfiniBand Compatible 1.6T OSFP224 Active DAC Cable

The NVIDIA InfiniBand Compatible 1.6T OSFP224 Active DAC Cable, 1.1m provides a 1600Gbps copper connection between OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) ports with a cable length of 1.1m (3.6ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for next generation InfiniBand XDR fabrics and large scale AI clusters.

Applications
The NVIDIA InfiniBand Compatible 1.6T OSFP224 Active DAC Cable, 1.1m connects OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) ports at 1600Gbps in next generation InfiniBand XDR fabrics and large scale AI clusters. This unit is manufactured in 2 standard lengths from 1.5m (5ft) to 2m (7ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. It is interoperable with NVIDIA/Mellanox InfiniBand platforms and replaces the NVIDIA/Mellanox InfiniBand part MCA4K50-X001 directly. The link runs 8x 200G-PAM4 to 8x 200G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 1.6T switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the NVIDIA/Mellanox InfiniBand part MCA4K50-X001 and works in NVIDIA/Mellanox InfiniBand systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers OSFP Rev 5.2, IEEE 802.3df, IEEE 802.3dj, CMIS 5.0.
Ordering Information
Part number of this model: OSFP-1.6T-AC. Length options are 1.5m (5ft) and 2m (7ft). Our factory also produces custom lengths beyond these on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Tested Before Shipment
We do not ship untested stock. Each transceiver and cable is powered up in our test racks, checked for link stability, transmit power, receiver sensitivity and diagnostic readouts, and only then packed for delivery. This factory-level testing is one reason network integrators keep reordering from us year after year.
How We Pack
Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
