ACC Nvidia MCA4J80. “Links two Quantum 2 switches together From Feb 22, 2023 conference call. -Jensen Huang
Our Hopper AI supercomputer with the new transformer engine and Quantum InfiniBand fabric is in full production, and CSPs are racing to open their Hopper cloud services.
NVIDIA® MCA4J80 is a 800Gb/s twin-port OSFP (Octal Small Formfactor Pluggable)-to-2x400Gb/s twin-port OSFP Active Copper Cable (ACC) for InfiniBand NDR networking.
ACC cables are the second lowest-cost, lowest-latency, very low-power consuming, high-speed links available due to their simplicity of design and minimal components. The “active” term refers to the passive copper cable with an equalizer integrated circuit to extend the length to 3, 4, and 5 meters while maintaining very low-latency and very low-power at 1.5 Watts per end. Thin 30AWG is used for 4m lengths and thicker 26AWG for 5m. Each end includes an EEPROM which provides product identification and characteristics to the host system. For lengths less than 3 meters, use passive DAC cables.
