MFS1S00-H020V 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC)
1. Product Overview
The MFS1S00-H020V is a high-performance 200Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for next-generation data center interconnects. It supports both InfiniBand HDR and 200 Gigabit Ethernet, delivering exceptional bandwidth, low latency, and extended reach up to 100 meters. This Optical Fiber Cable is ideal for high-density server and switch interconnections, offering superior reliability and power efficiency.
2. Key Characteristics
- Supports 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE
- Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
- Up to 100m reach over multi-mode fiber
- Low power consumption: 5.0W typical per end
- RoHS compliant and SFF-8636 management interface
- Built-in digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM)
3. Technology & Standards
This passive fiber cable alternative leverages VCSEL-based optical technology and complies with industry standards including SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and InfiniBand HDR. It uses PAM4 modulation for high-speed data transmission and supports advanced features like lane-by-lane retiming and programmable equalization.
4. Working Principle
The AOC converts electrical signals into optical signals using integrated VCSEL transceivers at each end. Data is transmitted over four multi-mode fibers, each operating at 50Gb/s. The cable includes built-in signal retiming and conditioning to ensure signal integrity over extended distances.
5. Applications
- InfiniBand HDR clusters
- 200GbE switch interconnects (e.g., SN3700 to SN4600)
- High-performance computing (HPC) environments
- Cloud data center networking
- AI and machine learning infrastructure
