NVIDIA MFS1S00-H003E 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable
Product Overview
The NVIDIA® MFS1S00-H003E represents cutting-edge connectivity
technology—a QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) engineered
specifically for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200 Gigabit Ethernet
infrastructure. This high-performance Optical Fiber Cable delivers exceptional bandwidth and signal integrity, offering a
far superior alternative to traditional passive fiber cable solutions. With four multi-mode fibers (MMF) per termination, each
supporting PAM4 modulation at data rates up to 50 Gb/s, it provides
the backbone for next-generation data center performance.
Key Characteristics
- Designed for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE applications
- Implements 4x 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation technology
- Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor compliant with SFF-8665
- Advanced signal integrity with programmable Rx amplitude and
pre-emphasis
- Extended reach up to 100m on multi-mode fiber
- Single 3.3V power supply with 5.0W typical power consumption per
end
- Comprehensive Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) via SFF-8636 I²C
- RoHS compliant for environmental safety
Core Technology
This advanced AOC leverages VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting
Laser) technology combined with sophisticated DSP-based retiming
capabilities. It maintains compliance with critical industry
standards including SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and IEEE 802.3bs for 200GbE
applications. The integrated DDM system enables real-time
monitoring of operational parameters including temperature,
voltage, laser bias current, and optical power per lane, providing
essential data for network health assessment and predictive
maintenance.
Working Principle
The cable operates by converting electrical signals into optical
signals using integrated VCSEL transmitters. These optical signals
propagate through multi-mode fiber and are reconverted to
electrical signals at the receiving terminal. Incorporated signal
integrity enhancements—including programmable equalization,
pre-emphasis, and clock data recovery (CDR)—ensure robust
performance across the entire link length, representing a
significant advancement over basic passive fiber cable technology.
Applications
Ideal for high-performance computing (HPC) environments, cloud data
center infrastructure, enterprise network cores, and AI/ML workload
deployments. Specifically optimized for 200G InfiniBand HDR systems
and 200GbE connectivity between modern switching platforms
including NVIDIA SN3700 and SN4600 series.

FAQ
Q: How does this AOC differ from a passive cable solution?
A: This Active Optical Cable incorporates integrated electronics
for signal retiming and integrity enhancement, enabling
significantly longer transmission distances (up to 100m) compared
to a passive fiber cable or Direct Attach Copper (DAC) alternative.
Q: Is this cable compatible with 100GbE switching equipment?
A: It is specifically engineered for 200Gb/s protocols. For 100GbE
compatibility, please consult the specific switch's compatibility
matrix or consider an alternative Optical Fiber Cable model.
Q: Does the product include digital diagnostics capabilities?
A: Yes, it features comprehensive DDM (Digital Diagnostic
Monitoring) for real-time surveillance of temperature, power, and
voltage parameters.
