NVIDIA MFP7E10-N005 Multimode Fiber Cable
The NVIDIA MFP7E10-N005 is a high-performance 5-meter multimode fiber optic cable engineered for next-generation data center infrastructure. This advanced network card connectivity solution supports 400Gb/s InfiniBand and Ethernet systems, delivering reliable high-speed data transmission for demanding computing environments where shorter reach connections are required.
Key Features
- MPO-12/APC to MPO-12/APC connectors with 8 active fibers
- Supports 400G InfiniBand NDR and Ethernet protocols
- 30-meter maximum reach with OM3 multimode fiber
- Low insertion loss (≤0.352 dB) and high return loss (≥35 dB)
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for enhanced safety
- Crossed Type-B topology for direct transceiver connectivity
- Compact 5-meter length ideal for rack-level connections
Technology & Standards
The MFP7E10-N005 network card compatible cable implements MPO-12/APC connectors with 8-degree angled polished ends to minimize optical back reflections. This mq9700 series equivalent supports multiple industry protocols including InfiniBand NDR, Ethernet, and NVLink. Compliant with IEC 61754-7 and Telcordia GR-1435 standards, this high-performance nic card connectivity solution ensures optimal signal integrity in short-reach applications.
Working Principle
This crossed (Type-B) fiber cable enables direct connection between transceivers by aligning transmit lanes from one end to receive lanes on the opposite end. The 5-meter mq9700 compatible cable uses 8 of 12 available fibers for data transmission, with 4 fibers serving as strength members. The APC connectors feature 8-degree polished ends that deflect internal optical back reflections, preserving signal quality in high-speed network card applications.
Applications
- Data center rack-level connectivity
- High-performance computing clusters
- AI/ML training infrastructure
- Top-of-rack switching applications
- ConnectX-7 network adapters and BlueField-3 DPUs
- Short-reach server-to-switch connections

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the 5-meter length particularly useful?
A: The MFP7E10-N005's 5-meter length is ideal for connecting adjacent racks or equipment within the same rack, reducing cable clutter while providing flexibility for network card connectivity.
Q: Is this cable compatible with MPO-12/UPC connectors?
A: No, the MFP7E10-N005 uses MPO-12/APC connectors which are not compatible with UPC variants due to different polishing angles.
Q: What is the maximum supported data rate for this mq9700 alternative?
A: This cable supports up to 400Gb/s per port for both InfiniBand NDR and Ethernet protocols, making it ideal for network card applications requiring high bandwidth.
Q: Can I use this for connecting different switch brands?
A: Yes, provided both devices support compatible OSFP transceivers and MPO-12/APC connectivity standards commonly used in modern nic card implementations.
