NVIDIA Mellanox® MFS1S00-V030E 200GbE QSFP56 AOC: This high-performance active optical cable is engineered for 200Gb/s Ethernet (200GbE) interconnectivity. Designed for high-density data center fabrics, it utilizes multi-mode fiber (MMF) to bridge the distance gap between switches and servers where copper cables cannot perform. This is a fixed-length integrated cable assembly, not a transceiver with a detachable patch cord.
🔧 Technical Specifications
- OEM: NVIDIA / Mellanox
- P/N: MFS1S00-V030E
- Data Rate: 200GbE (4x 50Gb/s PAM4)
- Connector Type: QSFP56 to QSFP56
- Cable Jacket: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
- Length: 30 Meters
- Power Consumption: < 5.0W (Platform Dependent)
🌐 Engineering Context: Compared to equivalent copper solutions, AOC offers lower weight, tighter bend radius, and superior long-term signal stability. At a 30m length, the MFS1S00-V030E provides Deterministic Latency and absolute EMI Immunity, which are critical for high-frequency trading and large-scale AI training clusters. The LSZH rating ensures compliance with strict data center safety regulations regarding smoke and toxicity.
🧠 Typical Use Cases
- 200GbE Leaf-to-Spine aggregation in enterprise data centers.
- High-speed server-to-switch links in Ethernet-based AI fabrics.
- Inter-rack connectivity requiring Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) compliance.
- Connecting NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Ethernet adapters to Spectrum-2/3 switches.
✅ Compatible With: NVIDIA Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 Series Switches, ConnectX-6 200GbE NICs, and BlueField-2 DPUs. (Requires ports configured for native 200GbE Ethernet operation and MSA-compliant support)
❌ NOT Compatible With: InfiniBand-only HDR environments; standard 40G/100G QSFP28 ports without breakout support; non-MSA compliant legacy hardware.
🛠️ Installation & Thermal Management
- Pull-Tab: This model features the Black Pull-Tab for easy identification and extraction in high-density 200G Ethernet panels.
- Bend Radius: Maintain a minimum static bend radius of 60mm to prevent micro-fractures in the multi-mode glass core.
- Thermal: Monitor switch port temperature; 200G PAM4 optics generate more heat than previous NRZ generations.
