72168800: frequently asked questions
What is the NVIDIA Mellanox 72168800?
The 72168800 is an SFP+ 10GBASE-SR module from NVIDIA's LinkX range for 10 Gbps Ethernet links. It plugs into an SFP+ / SFP28 port on an NVIDIA / Mellanox switch, adapter or DPU and is used for 10GbE server access, storage networks, top-of-rack uplinks and campus / metro links.
What is the maximum distance of the 72168800?
NVIDIA specifies the 72168800 for SR class: typically 300 m on OM3 multimode fiber (reach not stated in the NVIDIA notice).
Which fiber and connector does the 72168800 need?
The 72168800 uses a Duplex LC connector on multimode fiber (OM3/OM4), at 850 nm. Both ends of the link must use the same optical standard.
Is the 72168800 compatible with my NVIDIA / Mellanox switch or adapter?
It works in NVIDIA and Mellanox platforms with SFP+ / SFP28 ports that list this part in their firmware 'validated and supported cables and modules' table. Send us your switch / adapter model and firmware version and we check it against NVIDIA's support list before dispatch, so you only receive a module that links up in your port.
Is the 72168800 still available?
NVIDIA has marked the 72168800 legacy / end-of-life, so it is no longer in regular production. Next Gen Networks sources genuine new and surplus stock on request. End-of-life ordering number (NVIDIA LCR-000218). Ask us for the current equivalent (MFM1T02A-SR). Tell us the quantity and we will confirm availability, or suggest the current NVIDIA equivalent.
Is your 72168800 genuine NVIDIA / Mellanox?
Yes. Next Gen Networks supplies original NVIDIA (Mellanox) LinkX parts, not third-party lookalikes or grey-market stock. Every unit is checked before dispatch and we share serial numbers on request so you can verify them with mlxlink / mlxcables or the switch's transceiver inventory.
What is the 72168800 price in India and how do I order?
The NVIDIA Mellanox 72168800 price in India depends on quantity, delivery city and current stock. Next Gen Networks supplies it with a GST invoice (input tax credit ready) and pan-India dispatch from New Delhi. Send the part number, quantity and delivery city on WhatsApp +91-7827955775 or email Sales@nextgennetworks.in and we reply with a GST quote.
