NVIDIA MFS1S50-H010V 200G to 2x100G QSFP56 Active Optical Splitter Cable (AOC)
MFS1S50-H010V Product Overview
The NVIDIA® MFS1S50-H010V is a high-performance, low-latency Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed to bridge 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE systems with dual 100Gb/s endpoints. This innovative Optical Fiber Cable solution enables flexible connectivity between a high-speed switch and two servers, delivering exceptional bandwidth and density for modern data centers. Engineered for reliability and power efficiency, this passive fiber cable alternative provides active signal integrity over multimode fiber, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments.
MFS1S50-H010V Key Characteristics
- 200Gb/s to 2x100Gb/s bidirectional data splitting
- Low power consumption: 4.5W (200G end), 3.0W (100G end)
- Supports InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE protocols
- 4x50Gb/s PAM4 modulation per port
- Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
- Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) per lane
- Up to 10-meter reach with aqua-colored OM4/OM5 fiber
Technology & Standards
The MFS1S50-H010V complies with industry standards including SFF-8665 (QSFP56), SFF-8636 (I²C management), and SFF-8679 (pinout). It uses VCSEL-based optical engines and advanced DSP for PAM4 modulation, ensuring signal integrity over multimode fiber. The cable supports programmable Rx output amplitude and pre-emphasis for link optimization.
Working Principle
The AOC converts electrical signals from the host QSFP56 port into optical signals transmitted over four multimode fiber pairs. On the 200G end, the cable splits the signal into two independent 100G streams, each carried over a separate QSFP56 connector. Integrated EEPROMs provide real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, optical power, and bias current via the I²C interface.
MFS1S50-H010V Applications
- High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
- Cloud data center spine-leaf networks
- AI and machine learning training infrastructures
- Enterprise storage area networks (SAN)
- Financial trading systems requiring low latency

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between this AOC and a passive DAC?
A: This Active Optical Cable uses optical transceivers to boost signal integrity, allowing longer reaches (up to 30m) and better performance than passive Direct Attach Copper cables.
Q: Is this cable compatible with 100GbE switches?
A: The 100Gb/s ends are compatible with standard 100GbE QSFP56 ports. The 200G end requires a 200GbE or InfiniBand HDR port.
Q: Does it support digital diagnostics?
A: Yes, the cable provides per-lane monitoring of Rx power, Tx power, bias current, temperature, and voltage via the I²C interface.
Precautions
- Always use ESD protection when handling.
- Do not exceed minimum bend radius of 30mm.
- Ensure connectors are clean before insertion.
- Operate within specified temperature (0°C to 70°C) and humidity (5% to 85%) ranges.
- Verify host system compatibility before deployment.
