MFS1S00-H020E 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC)

The NVIDIA® MFS1S00-H020E is a high-performance 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable designed for data centers requiring high bandwidth, low latency, and extended reach. This fiber optic cable supports InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE applications, offering superior reliability and power efficiency compared to passive copper solutions.

Key Features

• Supports 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE
• 4x 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation per lane
• Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
• Up to 100m reach over multi-mode fiber (MMF)
• Low power consumption: 5.0W typical per end
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) with real-time health checks

Technology & Standards

This Active Optical Cable complies with SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and SFF-8679 standards. It uses VCSEL-based optical technology and supports PAM4 and NRZ modulation schemes. The cable integrates advanced signal retiming and equalization for optimal signal integrity.

How It Works

The MFS1S00-H020E converts electrical signals into optical signals using integrated VCSEL transceivers at each end. Data is transmitted over four multi-mode fibers, each operating at 50Gb/s. The built-in DSP performs retiming, equalization, and error correction to ensure reliable data transmission over long distances.

Applications

• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Data center spine-leaf architectures
• Cloud infrastructure and hyperscale data centers
• AI and machine learning workloads
• Storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS)
