Product Description
NVIDIA MFS1S00-H005V 200G QSFP56 MMF AOC
VCSEL-based Multimode Fiber Active Optical Cable for InfiniBand HDR & 200GbE – 5m length
Product Overview
The NVIDIA MFS1S00-H005V is a high-performance 200Gb/s QSFP56 active optical cable (AOC) designed for short-reach interconnects in data centers. It supports 4×50Gb/s PAM4 modulation, features selectable retiming per lane, and provides reliable, power-efficient connectivity for InfiniBand HDR and 200 Gigabit Ethernet systems.
Key Features
- Data rate: Up to 200Gb/s (4×50Gb/s PAM4)
- Protocol support: InfiniBand HDR, 200GbE
- Reach: Up to 100m over multimode fiber
- Low power: 5.0W typical per end (with retiming)
- Hot-pluggable: QSFP56 form factor, SFF-8665 compliant
- Management: SFF-8636 I²C interface with DDM
- Programmable: Rx output amplitude & pre-emphasis
- Compliance: RoHS, Class 1 laser safety
Technology & Design
The MFS1S00-H005V employs VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology at 850nm wavelength, coupled with high-speed multimode fiber. Each lane features independent retiming for both transmit and receive paths, enabling superior signal integrity across the link. The cable integrates digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for real-time tracking of optical power, temperature, voltage, and bias current.
Typical Deployments
- InfiniBand HDR fabrics: Connect switches to servers and storage in HPC clusters
- 200GbE aggregation: Link SN3700 and SN4600 switches in top-of-rack or leaf-spine architectures
- Data center interconnects: Short-reach (up to 100m) links between racks or within a row
- AI/ML training clusters: Low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity for GPU-based systems
Compatibility
Switches: NVIDIA Spectrum SN3700, SN4600 series and other QSFP56-equipped switches supporting 200G InfiniBand or Ethernet.
Adapters / DPUs: ConnectX-6, ConnectX-7, BlueField-2/3 with QSFP56 ports.
Protocols: InfiniBand HDR (100G/200G) and 200GbE (IEEE 802.3bs).
Compatibility is system-dependent; refer to the system level product qualification report for validated configurations.

Advantages
- Extended reach: Significantly longer than passive copper DACs, up to 100m
- Low power consumption: 5.0W per end reduces overall data center power budget
- Flexible rate selection: Supports both NRZ (EDR) and PAM4 (HDR) modes via rate select
- Robust signal integrity: Programmable equalization and retiming ensure reliable link performance
- Easy deployment: Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor with push-pull latch
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between AOC and DAC?
A: An AOC (Active Optical Cable) uses optical fiber with integrated transceivers to achieve longer reach (up to 100m) than passive copper DACs (typically ≤5m), while offering lower weight and better EMI immunity.
Q: Can I use this cable with 100G or 40G switches?
A: Yes, it can operate in NRZ mode (25.78125 Gb/s) for 100G or 40G applications, but it is optimized for 200G PAM4. Rate select registers must be configured accordingly.
Q: What is the bend radius of this cable?
A: The minimum bend radius is 30 mm.
Q: Is the cable hot-pluggable?
A: Yes, it is fully hot-pluggable and supports live insertion/removal without powering down the host system.
Handling Precautions
- Keep protective dust caps on connectors until installation to prevent contamination
- Use approved optical connector cleaners before mating to ensure low insertion loss
- Avoid bending the cable tighter than the 30 mm minimum bend radius
- Observe standard ESD precautions during installation and handling
- Do not pull on the connectors; use the pull-tab or latch for insertion/removal
