MFS1S00-H020V 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC)

1. Product Overview

The MFS1S00-H020V is a high-performance 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-speed data center interconnects. It supports both InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE applications, offering low latency, high bandwidth, and extended reach up to 100 meters. This optical fiber cable is ideal for high-density server and switch interconnections.

2. Key Characteristics

• Supports 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200Gb Ethernet
• 4x 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation per lane
• Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
• Low power consumption: 5.0W typical per end
• Reach up to 100m over multi-mode fiber (MMF)
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) with real-time health tracking
• RoHS compliant and SFF-8636 management interface

3. Technology & Standards

The cable complies with SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and InfiniBand HDR standards. It uses VCSEL-based optical engines and supports PAM4 and NRZ modulation. The integrated passive fiber cable design ensures signal integrity and low bit error rate (BER).

4. Working Principle

The AOC converts electrical signals into optical signals via integrated VCSEL transmitters. These signals are transmitted over multi-mode optical fiber cable and converted back to electrical signals at the receiving end. Each lane operates at 50Gb/s with built-in retiming and clock data recovery (CDR).

5. Applications

• 200G InfiniBand HDR clusters
• High-performance computing (HPC) and AI data centers
• Cloud infrastructure and hyperscale networking
• Inter-switch links (e.g., NVIDIA SN3700 to SN4600)
• Storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS)

6. Specifications

7. Advantages

• Lower latency and higher bandwidth compared to DAC cables
• Lightweight and flexible for easy cable management
• Immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Longer reach than passive copper solutions
• Built-in diagnostics for real-time monitoring

9. FAQ

Q: Is this cable compatible with 100GbE switches?
A: Yes, it supports backward compatibility with 100GbE when used with appropriate adapters.

Q: What is the maximum bend radius?
A: The minimum bend radius is 30mm to avoid damage to the passive fiber cable.

Q: Does it support digital diagnostics?
A: Yes, it provides DDM for optical power, temperature, and voltage monitoring.

10. Precautions

• Avoid bending beyond 30mm radius to prevent fiber damage
• Ensure ESD protection during handling and installation
• Use only in approved operating temperatures and environments
• Verify host system compatibility before purchase
