NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP4Y10-N00A-FLT Compatible 800G OSFP 8 x 100G PAM4 IHS/Finned Top to OSFP 8 x 100G PAM4 RHS/Flat Top InfiniBand NDR Passive Copper Twinax Cable, 0.5m (2ft)
The MCP4Y10-N00A-FLT compatible DAC cable provides 800G connectivity for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment over a fixed 0.5m (2ft) assembly. Both ends use the stated OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (RHS/Flat Top) arrangement. It is inspected and functionally checked before packing, with handling guidance designed to protect the connectors during installation and later service.

Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 8x100G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.
Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the route and both connectors before installation, then support the cable without pulling on either connector housing. During maintenance, release the latch properly rather than using the cable as a handle. Keep protection on unused ends, and if the assembly is removed for later use, coil it loosely and record its part number so the same length can be returned to service. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 30AWG; the minimum bend radius is 34.5mm; the stated power consumption is 0.1W Per End; the jacket material is PET.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 0.1W Per End. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 34.5mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is 800G InfiniBand. Listed interface and protocol references include OSFP MSA, IEEE 802.3ck and CMIS 5.0. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Passive Copper Operation
A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
The 0.5m (2ft) length is suited to closely aligned ports where excessive slack would obstruct airflow or complicate dressing. Measure the actual port-to-port path before choosing MCP4Y10-N00A-FLT; even a short assembly must retain the specified bend radius and should never be pulled tight behind the equipment.
Position Within the Length Range
MCP4Y10-N00A-FLT is the shortest of 3 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is MCP4Y10-N001-FLT at 1m (3ft), adding 0.5m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
The cable and both connectors are inspected before a functional link test. Connector protection and bend-safe packing reduce handling damage during transport and storage. Customer or site labels can be added for field inventories, with different lengths separated to simplify issue and return of spare assemblies. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatibility and Factory Testing
A field-ready cable needs both correct identification and a stable operating link. Our pre-packing check therefore includes the connectors, host recognition and link behavior. For equipment with uncertain revision history, providing the host model and software release helps identify compatibility requirements before the assembly reaches the installation site. Where supported by the host, link stability and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original NVIDIA/Mellanox cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP4Y10-N00A-FLT.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
What details assist a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.
How should an unused assembly be stored?
Protect both connector ends, keep the cable in a loose bend-safe coil and retain its part-number label so the length and compatibility identity remain traceable.
Ordering Information
Request the cable by its exact part number and length, and state the equipment model if compatibility confirmation is needed. Site orders can list quantities by rack or installation team. Any requested label should retain the part number so a removed or spare cable can still be identified accurately. Keep MCP4Y10-N00A-FLT associated with 0.5m (2ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Shipping and Lead Time
Available stock is generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation, with production lead times advised for larger quantities. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.
