NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-V030E 200GbE QSFP56 Active Optical Cable, 30m LSZH: This is a 30-meter active optical cable (AOC) engineered for 200Gb/s Ethernet (200GbE) point-to-point interconnectivity. The cable uses VCSEL optics over multi-mode fiber and features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for data centers with strict fire safety requirements. This is a fixed-length integrated assembly, not a transceiver with a detachable patch cord. This is a refurbished unit.
Engineering Context
The MFS1S00-V030E is the Ethernet-optimized variant in the MFS1S00 family (the "V" suffix denotes Ethernet/VPI, versus "H" for InfiniBand HDR). At 30 meters, it bridges inter-rack and inter-row distances that are physically impossible for passive copper at 200Gb/s PAM4 speeds. The LSZH jacket ensures compliance with European and high-tier data center fire safety standards for minimal smoke and zero toxic halogen emissions. Each connector includes integrated EEPROM for diagnostic monitoring.
Deployment & Use Cases
200GbE leaf-to-spine aggregation in enterprise data centers. High-speed server-to-switch links in Ethernet-based AI/ML fabrics. Inter-rack connectivity requiring LSZH-rated cabling for fire code compliance. Connecting ConnectX-6 200GbE adapters to Spectrum-2/Spectrum-3 switches across data center rows.
