NVIDIA InfiniBand NDR, LSZH, OSFP-OSFP, 0.5m Cable, Black

The NVIDIA 800 Gbit/s InfiniBand NDR OSFP Copper Cable, 0.5 m is an interconnect for networking equipment in data-centre and high-performance computing environments. It supports data transfer rates of up to 800 Gbit/s, its rated capability. The cable carries InfiniBand NDR traffic over a physical connection between compatible devices. The network standard and transfer rate are the main considerations when selecting it. It is intended for high-bandwidth equipment links rather than general-purpose Ethernet connections.

OSFP connectors are fitted at both ends, so connected equipment needs matching OSFP ports. The copper construction distinguishes this cable from an optical-fibre lead, even though it is listed under an optical-module category. Connector type and cable medium should therefore be checked against the equipment’s interconnect requirements. The jacket is specified separately from the connection standard and data rate. Its jacket characteristics are given below for installations with material requirements.

• 0.5 m cable length: suited to short equipment links.
• Black cable: provides a visible colour identifier.
• LSZH jacket: specified as low-smoke and zero-halogen.
• Halogen-free construction: stated material characteristic.
