Mellanox MFA1A00-E010 100G QSFP28 AOC | 10m Active Optical Cable for InfiniBand EDR

Mellanox MFA1A00-E010 100Gb/s QSFP28 Active Optical Cable

High-Performance 100G EDR Interconnect Solution

The Mellanox MFA1A00-E010 represents a premium QSFP28 active optical cable engineered for demanding 100Gb/s InfiniBand EDR environments. With exceptional 2.2W power efficiency and reliable 10-meter reach, this advanced interconnect solution delivers predictable latency and superior performance for high-performance computing clusters and enterprise data centers requiring robust network infrastructure.

Critical Performance Features

100Gb/s Data Throughput: Supports InfiniBand EDR with 4x 25G NRZ lanes for maximum bandwidth
Power-Efficient Operation: Typical 2.2W power consumption per end with retiming enabled
Extended Reach: 10-meter cable length ideal for rack-to-rack connectivity
Advanced Signal Integrity: Selectable retiming per lane with programmable equalization
Hot-Pluggable Design: Enables easy installation and replacement without system shutdown

Advanced Optical Technology

The MFA1A00-E010 incorporates sophisticated optical engineering to ensure reliable high-speed data transmission:

VCSEL-Based Transceivers: Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser technology for consistent performance
Four Multi-Mode Fibers: Parallel optic architecture supporting 25Gb/s per lane
Programmable Equalization: Adjustable transmitter input equalizers and receiver pre-emphasis
Selectable Retiming: Per-lane clock data recovery for superior signal integrity at 25-26Gb/s rates
SFF-8665 Compliance: Standard QSFP28 form factor ensuring broad compatibility

Operational Framework

This active optical cable functions as an integrated electro-optical conversion system. Electrical signals from the host network card are converted to optical signals through VCSEL transmitters, transmitted across four multi-mode fibers, then reconverted to electrical signals at the receiving end. The integrated retiming circuitry maintains signal integrity by reconstructing the data waveform, while programmable equalization compensates for signal degradation. This sophisticated approach enables reliable 100Gb/s transmission across the 10-meter span with exceptional bit error rate performance below 1E-15.

Target Deployment Environments

The MFA1A00-E010 excels in high-performance computing and data center applications where reliability and bandwidth are critical:

High-Performance Computing: InfiniBand EDR clusters for scientific research and engineering simulations
Enterprise Data Centers: Spine-leaf network architectures requiring high-speed interconnects
Artificial Intelligence: GPU computing clusters and machine learning infrastructure
Financial Trading: Low-latency trading systems requiring predictable performance
Cloud Infrastructure: Large-scale virtualization environments and storage networks

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary advantage of AOC cables compared to DAC cables?

A: Active Optical Cables provide longer reach, lighter weight, better flexibility, and improved electromagnetic immunity compared to Direct Attach Copper cables, making them ideal for longer distance connections and dense configurations.

Q: Is this cable compatible with Ethernet systems or only InfiniBand?

A: While optimized for InfiniBand EDR systems, the MFA1A00-E010 is also compatible with 100GbE systems using QSFP28 ports, providing flexibility for mixed infrastructure environments.

Q: What does the selectable retiming feature provide?

A: Retiming reconstructs the data signal to maintain integrity at high data rates (25-26Gb/s), reducing jitter and improving signal quality, which is particularly beneficial for longer cable runs.

Q: Can this cable be used with any QSFP28 network card?

A: The cable is compatible with standard SFF-8665 QSFP28 ports. For optimal performance with specific network card models, particularly in high-performance computing applications, verification with system documentation is recommended.

Installation & Operational Guidelines

Maintain operating temperature between 0°C to 70°C and relative humidity between 5% to 85%
Ensure proper bend radius during installation to prevent fiber damage
Verify QSFP28 port compatibility and firmware levels before deployment
Utilize hot-pluggable capability for installation without system shutdown
Monitor power consumption and thermal conditions in high-density deployments
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation
