MTM018633, Mellanox OCP3.0 FRU, 10xThumbscrew Bracket/For 1xQSFP28/56/Fits CX565 CX613435

The Mellanox NVIDIA Mellanox MTM018633 is a dedicated network adapter hardware accessory designed for modern data center and enterprise platforms that use OCP 3.0 adapter cards. This OCP 3.0 bracket accessory is built for selected NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX adapters that feature a single QSFP28 or QSFP56 cage, making it a practical choice for operators who need reliable mechanical support for high-speed ports. With its thumbscrew (pull-tab) bracket for QSFP cage, the NVIDIA Mellanox MTM018633 allows fast, repeatable, and secure mounting without tools, helping technicians reduce service time at the rack. It is ideal for use in large colocation facilities, cloud environments, and on-premises enterprise clusters where adapters may need to be swapped or reconfigured frequently.

This bracket follows the OCP 3.0 form factor standard, which means it aligns with open compute hardware guidelines widely adopted in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. For distributors and resellers, the fixed configuration of 10 brackets per package simplifies stocking, spare planning, and quotation. For small and mid-size integrators, having a field replaceable unit (FRU) such as the NVIDIA Mellanox MTM018633 ensures that a damaged or missing bracket does not delay deployment or maintenance of high-value ConnectX cards. End users benefit from a consistent mechanical interface that keeps QSFP28/QSFP56 optics and DACs firmly seated, helping maintain signal integrity and avoiding costly downtime due to loose connections.

The NVIDIA Mellanox MTM018633 is especially useful as a replacement or spare kit for racks that host many OCP 3.0 adapters with 1x QSFP28/56 cages. The tool-less thumbscrew attachment speeds work in constrained rack aisles, as engineers do not need special tools or extra hardware. Because it is a dedicated FRU, it can be swapped in the field without touching the rest of the server or adapter card, which supports better service-level planning and minimizes risk during maintenance windows. Whether used in a hyperscale data center, a regional cloud point of presence, or an enterprise HPC cluster, this bracket accessory adds practical value by protecting port reliability, standardizing installations, and keeping high-performance networking infrastructure running smoothly.
