Mellanox’s 40Gb/s passive copper cables provide robust connections and require no power from the connector.
The 40Gb/s passive copper cables are compliant with the InfiniBand Architecture, SFF-8436 specifications and
provide connectivity between devices using QSFP ports. 40Gb/s passive copper cables fill the need for short,
cost-effective connectivity in the data center. Mellanox’s high-quality passive copper cable solutions provide a
power-efficient replacement for active power connectivity such as fiber optic cables.
Optimizing systems to operate with Mellanox’s 40Gb/s passive copper cables significantly reduces power
consumption and EMI emission, eliminating the use of EDC hosts.
