MFS1S00-H010V 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC)
1. Product Overview
The NVIDIA® MFS1S00-H010V is a high-performance 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for data center and high-performance computing applications. It supports 200G InfiniBand HDR and 200 Gigabit Ethernet, delivering high bandwidth, low latency, and extended reach up to 100 meters. This optical fiber cable is hot-pluggable, RoHS compliant, and engineered for reliability and ease of deployment.
2. Key Characteristics
- Supports 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE
- 4x 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation per lane
- Up to 100m reach over multi-mode fiber (MMF)
- Low power consumption: 5.0W typical per end
- Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
- SFF-8636 compliant I²C management interface
- Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support
3. Technology & Standards
The MFS1S00-H010V complies with industry standards including SFF-8665 (QSFP56), SFF-8636 (management), and InfiniBand HDR. It uses VCSEL-based optical technology and supports PAM4 modulation for high-speed data transmission. This passive fiber cable alternative offers active signal integrity with built-in retiming.
4. Working Principle
The AOC converts electrical signals into optical signals via integrated VCSEL transmitters. Signals are transmitted over multi-mode fiber and converted back to electrical signals at the receiving end. Each lane operates at 50Gb/s using PAM4 encoding, ensuring high data integrity and low bit error rates.
5. Applications
- 200G InfiniBand HDR clusters
- High-performance computing (HPC) networks
- Data center spine-leaf architectures
- Cloud infrastructure interconnects
- AI and machine learning workloads
