Product Description
High-Performance 100Gb/s InfiniBand EDR Active Optical Cable
The NVIDIA® MFA1A00-E005 represents cutting-edge connectivity technology designed for data-intensive environments. This QSFP28 Active Optical Cable delivers exceptional 100Gb/s bandwidth for InfiniBand EDR systems while maintaining significantly lower power consumption than traditional solutions. Engineered for reliability and performance, this fiber optic solution eliminates electromagnetic interference concerns while providing extended reach capabilities.
Distinguishing Characteristics
- Optimized for 100Gb/s InfiniBand EDR performance with 5-meter reach
- Advanced VCSEL-based optical technology ensuring signal integrity
- Hot-pluggable design facilitating effortless installation and maintenance
- Energy-efficient operation at 2.2W typical power consumption per endpoint
- Comprehensive digital diagnostics for real-time performance monitoring
Technical Implementation
This advanced Active Optical Cable implements four 25Gb/s VCSEL-based optical channels compliant with SFF-8665 specifications. The integrated architecture incorporates signal retiming capabilities, programmable equalization, and adaptive output pre-emphasis to maintain signal integrity across the entire cable length. The embedded microcontroller supports SFF-8636 management interface standards for comprehensive monitoring and control.
Operational Methodology
The transmission process begins with electrical signals entering the QSFP28 interface, where they undergo conditioning through programmable equalizers. The signals then drive VCSEL lasers that convert electrical impulses to optical signals for transmission through multi-mode fibers. At the receiving terminal, photodiodes convert the optical signals back to electrical form, which then pass through output drivers with programmable amplitude and pre-emphasis before delivery to the host system.
Implementation Environments
- High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning training infrastructures
- Financial trading systems demanding ultra-low latency connectivity
- Research and scientific computing environments with high data throughput needs
