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 high-density data center interconnects. It supports both InfiniBand HDR and 200 Gigabit Ethernet applications, delivering superior bandwidth, low latency, and extended reach up to 100 meters. This Optical Fiber Cable is hot-pluggable, RoHS compliant, and engineered for reliability in demanding environments.
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
- Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) with real-time health tracking
- Programmable Rx output amplitude and pre-emphasis
3. Technology & Standards
The MFS1S00-H010V complies with industry standards including SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and InfiniBand HDR. It uses VCSEL-based optical technology and supports PAM4 modulation for high-speed data transmission. The built-in I²C interface enables advanced management and diagnostics.
4. Working Principle
The AOC converts electrical signals into optical signals via integrated VCSEL transmitters. These 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) and AI workloads
- Data center spine-leaf architectures
- Cloud and enterprise networking
- Inter-switch links (e.g., NVIDIA SN3700, SN4600)
