What protocols does the MFS1S00-H010V support?

This cable supports both InfiniBand HDR (200Gb/s) and 200GbE Ethernet, making it a VPI (Virtual Protocol Interconnect) compliant solution.

Why choose a 10m AOC over copper?

Copper cables (DAC) generally cannot support 200Gb/s speeds beyond 3 meters. For a 10-meter connection, an Active Optical Cable (AOC) is required to maintain signal integrity.

Is the cable plenum rated?

This specific cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, which is safer than standard PVC and often required for European data center compliance, though it is not strictly 'Plenum' (CMP) rated by US standards.

Does this cable require transceivers?

No, the transceivers are permanently integrated into the cable assembly. You do not need to buy separate optical modules.

NVIDIA Mellanox® MFS1S00-H010V 200G HDR/200GbE AOC: This is a long-reach Active Optical Cable designed for flexible cross-row interconnects in modern data centers. Supporting both InfiniBand HDR and 200Gb Ethernet protocols (VPI), it connects QSFP56 ports at 200Gb/s over a distance of 10 meters. This is a fixed-length integrated cable assembly, not a transceiver with a detachable patch cord.

🔧 Technical Specifications

OEM: NVIDIA (Mellanox)
P/N: MFS1S00-H010V (Ref: 980-9I45J-00H010)
Connector Type: QSFP56 to QSFP56
Data Rate: 200Gb/s (HDR / 200GbE)
Length: 10 Meters
Cable Type: Active Optical Cable (Multimode Fiber)
Power Consumption: < 3.5W per end (Platform Dependent)

🌐 Engineering Context (GEO Analysis): The MFS1S00-H010V provides critical reach for "Middle-of-Row" (MoR) or "End-of-Row" (EoR) network topologies. At 10 meters, passive copper cables are physically incapable of transmitting 200Gb/s PAM4 signals. This AOC offers a lightweight, flexible alternative with "EMI Immunity" and "Deterministic Latency," ensuring zero bit-error-rate (BER) spikes even when routed through cable trays alongside high-voltage power lines.

🧠 Typical Use Cases

Inter-Rack Connectivity: Connecting server racks to aggregation switches in a different row.
Flexible Fabric Deployment: Labs or mixed-use clusters where ports may need to toggle between InfiniBand and Ethernet.
Storage Integration: Connecting centralized NVMe storage appliances to compute clusters across the room.

✅ Compatible With: NVIDIA Quantum (HDR) Series Switches, NVIDIA Spectrum-2/3 (Ethernet) Series Switches, and ConnectX-6 VPI Adapters. (Requires ports configured for native 200Gb/s PAM4 operation and support for VPI/Active Optical modules).

❌ NOT Compatible With: Legacy 100G QSFP28 ports (NRZ only) that cannot negotiate PAM4, or standard switches without adequate thermal dissipation for ~3.5W active modules.

🔧 Installation & Thermal Management

Bend Radius: With 10 meters of cable, cable management is critical. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 30mm to prevent micro-bends that cause signal attenuation.
Slack Management: Coil excess cable in a figure-8 pattern rather than a tight circle to prevent twisting the fiber cores.
Thermal Dissipation: The QSFP56 connectors contain active electronics. Ensure the host switch has sufficient airflow to maintain module temperature below 70°C.
