NVIDIA MFS1S50-H030V 200Gb/s to 2x100Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Splitter Cable
Product Overview
The NVIDIA® MFS1S50-H030V is a high-performance Active Optical Cable (AOC) engineered to bifurcate a single 200Gb/s QSFP56 interface into two autonomous 100Gb/s QSFP56 links. This low-latency fiber optic solution is optimized for modern data centers, delivering reliable and power-efficient connectivity for HDR InfiniBand and 200Gb Ethernet systems. With an extended 20-meter reach, it offers superior deployment flexibility in diverse rack configurations.
Key Characteristics
- 200Gb/s to dual 100Gb/s bidirectional data conversion
- Low-latency multi-mode fiber (MMF) construction
- Hot-swappable QSFP56 form factor
- Full compliance with InfiniBand HDR and 200Gb Ethernet standards
- Comprehensive Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) via I²C interface
- RoHS compliant with optimized power consumption (4.5W typical)
Technical Standards
This active optical cable adheres to industry specifications including SFF-8665 (QSFP56), SFF-8636 (management interface), and IEEE 200GbE protocols. It employs VCSEL-based optical technology with PAM4 modulation to achieve high-speed data transmission over multi-mode fiber with minimal error rates.
Operational Principle
The cable transforms electrical signals from the 200Gb/s QSFP56 port into optical signals, which are then split and transmitted across four multi-mode fiber pairs. At the dual QSFP56 terminals, these optical signals are reconverted into electrical signals, providing two independent 100Gb/s channels. An integrated EEPROM facilitates real-time performance monitoring and system management.
Deployment Scenarios
- Data center spine-leaf network architectures
- High-performance computing (HPC) environments
- Cloud computing and hyperscale networking infrastructure
- Storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS)
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning training networks
