Lenovo 01PG734 (MFS1S00-H010E) InfiniBand HDR 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable, 10m: This is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) engineered for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR point-to-point interconnectivity. It is a Lenovo FRU-branded version of the NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H010E, with identical electrical and optical specifications. The cable incorporates VCSEL optical engines directly into the QSFP56 connector shells. This is a fixed-length integrated assembly, not a transceiver with a detachable patch cord. This is a refurbished unit.
Engineering Context
The 01PG734 is Lenovo's OEM-labeled equivalent of the Mellanox MFS1S00-H010E (reference P/N: 980-9I45A-00H010). At 10 meters, it bridges mid-row to end-of-row distances where passive copper at 200Gb/s PAM4 speeds suffers high insertion loss. The cable uses multi-mode fiber and provides complete EMI immunity. Each connector includes integrated EEPROM for SFF-8636 diagnostic monitoring.
Deployment & Use Cases
Connecting Lenovo ThinkSystem servers (SR630/SR650/SR670) to Quantum HDR switches across rack rows. High-bandwidth storage fabric connectivity for DSS-G distributed storage solutions. AI/ML workloads requiring low-latency, high-throughput 200Gb/s links. HPC clusters where copper DAC reach is insufficient.
