NVIDIA MFS1S50-H015V 200G to 2x100G Active Optical Splitter Cable

1. MFS1S50-H015V Product Overview

The NVIDIA® MFS1S50-H015E is a high-performance, low-latency Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed to split a single 200Gb/s QSFP56 port into two independent 100Gb/s QSFP56 connections. This optical fiber cable is engineered for data centers and high-performance computing environments requiring reliable, high-bandwidth interconnects. It supports both InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE standards, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution for scalable network architectures.

2.MFS1S50-H015V  Key Characteristics

• 200Gb/s to 2x100Gb/s bidirectional data transmission
• Low power consumption: 4.5W (200G end), 3.0W (100G end)
• Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
• Up to 30-meter reach over multi-mode fiber (MMF)
• RoHS compliant and SFF-8665 compatible
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) support

3. MFS1S50-H015V Technology & Standards

The passive fiber cable leverages VCSEL-based optical technology and complies with industry standards including SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and IBTA InfiniBand HDR. It uses PAM4 modulation (4x50Gb/s) for high-speed data transfer and features programmable Rx output amplitude and pre-emphasis for signal integrity.

4. Working Principle

The AOC converts electrical signals into optical signals using integrated transceivers. The 200Gb/s end splits the signal into two 100Gb/s streams, each transmitted over separate fiber pairs to two independent QSFP56 ports. Each end includes an EEPROM for real-time status monitoring and management via the I²C interface.

5. Applications

• Data center spine-leaf architectures
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
