3m (10ft) NVIDIA (InfiniBand) Compatible 200G QSFP56 InfiniBand Active Optical Cable
The NVIDIA/Mellanox MFS1S00-V003E is an 200Gb/s QSFP56 to 200Gb/s QSFP56 InfiniBand HDR Active Optical Cable. Using the Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable 56 (QSFP56) and contains four high-speed electrical copper pairs, each operating at data rates of up to 50Gb/s. This cable is compliant with QSFP56 MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) and IEEE 802.3 standards.
AOCs enable higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost, and reduced power requirement in the data centers, used extensively in cloud and supercomputers. Additionally, AOCs are widely employed for connecting NVIDIA GPU-based systems to InfiniBand networks and InfiniBand storage fabrics.
AOC cables offer the low-cost, high-value proposition and increased reliability over connectorized transceivers. They are lighter, more flexible, allow greater airflow, and support longer distances when compared with DAC cables.

Q:

Do InfiniBand AOC cables support long-distance connections?

by o***m on 2025-07-10 10:06:23

A:

Yes, AOC (Active Optical Cables) support longer distances than DACs, typically up to 30 meters or more, while maintaining low latency and high bandwidth transmission.

Q:

What is the difference between HDR and NDR InfiniBand cables?

by K***m on 2025-07-10 09:45:02

A:

HDR (High Data Rate) supports up to 200Gb/s per port, while NDR (Next Data Rate) can handle 400Gb/s. Both are used for high-performance computing, but NDR is designed for newer-generation systems requiring ultra-high bandwidth.
