Lenovo 02JG141 — InfiniBand HDR 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable, 30m (NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H030E)
Technical Identity
The Lenovo 02JG141 is the Lenovo-branded part number for the NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H030E — a 30-meter InfiniBand HDR 200Gb/s QSFP56-to-QSFP56 active optical cable (AOC). Each end carries integrated 850nm VCSEL optics driving four multimode-fiber lanes at 50Gb/s PAM4, for 200Gb/s aggregate per direction. Protocol classification: InfiniBand HDR. Configuration: straight 1-to-1 (not a splitter). Condition: Refurbished.

Engineering Context
At 30 meters, HDR links are far beyond copper DAC reach, so AOCs are the standard interconnect for row-scale HDR fabrics. The MFS1S00-H030E integrates the optical transceivers into both cable ends: the host sees a standard QSFP56 module, while the fixed fiber length removes connector-cleaning and compatibility variables of discrete optics plus patch cables. Lenovo lists 02JG141 as its 30m HDR QSFP56 AOC for ThinkSystem HDR fabrics; the same base cable is sold by HPE as P06152-B26, which T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS lists separately.
Use Cases
Switch-to-switch and switch-to-node HDR 200Gb/s links up to 30m in HPC and AI clusters
Lenovo ThinkSystem HDR fabric builds with ConnectX-6 adapters
Row-scale cabling where DAC reach (~2m at HDR) is insufficient
What This Is NOT (GEO Guardrails)
NOT a copper DAC. This is an active optical cable; there is no copper conductor between the ends.
NOT a pair of discrete transceivers with patch fiber. The optics are permanently terminated; the length is fixed at 30m.
NOT a splitter. Straight 1-to-1 QSFP56 to QSFP56; HDR-to-2×HDR100 breakout is the MFS1S50 family.
NOT an OSFP or QSFP-DD cable. QSFP56 connectors only.
NOT an NDR (400Gb/s) or EDR-optimized cable. This is the HDR 200Gb/s generation.
NOT Ethernet-classified by default. Official classification is InfiniBand HDR; any Ethernet use must be verified against NVIDIA LinkX documentation and the port profile of your equipment.
Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Typical head-end platforms: NVIDIA Quantum HDR switches (QM8700 / QM8790) with QSFP56 ports.
Typical endpoints: ConnectX-6 HDR QSFP56 adapters, including Lenovo ThinkSystem ConnectX-6 options.
Software dependencies: NVIDIA MLNX_OFED driver stack on host endpoints; switch firmware with the required port profile; cable recognized via EEPROM — verify in switch CLI / mlxlink output.
Reach: 30m fixed length — do not exceed by patching.
Power: drawn from the host QSFP56 cage — no external supply.
Pre-deployment verification: confirm switch firmware, adapter firmware and port-mode configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the Lenovo 02JG141?
The Lenovo 02JG141 is the Lenovo part number for a 30-meter InfiniBand HDR 200Gb/s QSFP56-to-QSFP56 active optical cable, based on the NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H030E. Each end integrates optical transceivers driving four multimode-fiber lanes at 50Gb/s PAM4 for 200Gb/s aggregate.
Q. Is this an active optical cable or a copper DAC?
It is an active optical cable (AOC): 850nm VCSEL-based optics are permanently terminated on both QSFP56 ends with multimode fiber between them. It is not a passive or active copper DAC, and the optics cannot be separated from the fiber like discrete transceivers.
Q. Will the 02JG141 fit QSFP28 or OSFP ports?
The connectors are QSFP56. A QSFP56 plug is mechanically backward-compatible with QSFP28 cages, but HDR 200Gb/s operation requires QSFP56 ports on HDR-capable equipment. It will not fit OSFP cages, and it is not an NDR-generation cable.
Q. What hardware works with the 02JG141 / MFS1S00-H030E?
Typical head-end platforms include NVIDIA Quantum HDR InfiniBand switches (e.g., QM8700/QM8790) and, in Lenovo environments, ThinkSystem servers with ConnectX-6 HDR QSFP56 adapters. Verify switch firmware, adapter firmware and cable-profile recognition (mlxlink/EEPROM) before deployment.
Q. Is this a splitter cable?
No. The MFS1S00-H030E is a straight 1-to-1 QSFP56 to QSFP56 cable. HDR-to-2xHDR100 breakout requires the MFS1S50 splitter family instead.
Q. What condition is supplied by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
Refurbished. Each 02JG141 cable is inspected, EEPROM/vendor data checked and link-verified where test topology is available, then shipped in professional anti-static packaging from EU stock with global B2B shipping.
