Product Description
NVIDIA MFA1A00-C030 100Gb/s QSFP28 Active Optical Cable
1. Product Overview
The NVIDIA® MFA1A00-C030 is a high-performance QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) engineered for 100Gb/s Ethernet infrastructure. This advanced Optical Fiber Cable utilizes VCSEL-based technology to ensure reliable, high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber (MMF), supporting distances up to 30 meters. It represents an optimal solution for modern data centers and high-performance computing environments that demand exceptional bandwidth, minimal latency, and reduced power consumption.
2. Key Characteristics
- Supports data rates up to 100Gb/s per cable
- Hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor for easy deployment
- Low power consumption: 2.2W typical per end (with retiming enabled)
- Comprehensive Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) via I²C interface
- RoHS compliant with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket
- Programmable transmitter equalization and receiver output settings
3. Technology & Standards Compliance
The MFA1A00-C030 complies with SFF-8665 and SFF-8636 industry standards. It is designed for 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet applications and maintains interoperability with InfiniBand EDR systems. The cable operates using four lanes at 25.78 Gb/s each, featuring selectable retiming capabilities for superior signal integrity.
4. Operational Principle
This Active Optical Cable converts electrical signals into optical signals through integrated VCSEL transmitters. These optical signals travel through multimode fiber and are converted back to electrical signals at the receiving terminus. Built-in signal retiming and adaptive equalization mechanisms ensure a bit error rate (BER) below 10⁻¹⁵, even at maximum distance.
5. Application Scenarios
- Data center spine-leaf network architectures
- High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
- Cloud service provider infrastructure
- Storage area networks (SANs) and network-attached storage (NAS)
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms
