Copper cable, up to 20Gb/s, 4X microGiGaCN to QSFP, 5 meter
<b>Mellanox Hybrid Copper Cables</b>
Hybrid cables connect network equipment with different connector types. These cables can connect InfiniBand switch or HCA ports with the original microGiGaCN connector to equipment with the newer QSFP connector. Hybrid cables also enable Mellanox’s VPI adapters and 40 Gigabit Ethernet NIC to connect to 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches with either CX4 or SFP+ ports.
<b>Connector Types</b>
Mellanox cables are available with a wide range of connector types, complying with the different protocols in the market. CX4, QSFP or SFP+ cable solutions provide highest flexibility for network installations. Hybrid cables allow you to make connections when the adapter card port doesn’t match the switch port. For example, hybrid cables can connect between DDR adapters with CX4 connectors to high density switches with QSFP connectors. With a QSFP to SFP+ cable, you can connect a VPI adapter card to a 10GigE switch.
