Mellanox MFS1S50-H005E 5m (16ft) InfiniBand QSFP56 to 2xQSFP56 Active Optical Cable
Overview:
The NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S50-H005E is a high-performance **5m (16ft) active optical splitter cable** (AOC). This Active Optical Cable is designed to provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for short-to-medium distance interconnects in modern data centers. It delivers a **200Gb/s** data rate for InfiniBand HDR systems by splitting one QSFP56 port into two separate QSFP56 ports, allowing a single high-speed switch port to connect to two separate servers or devices. This cable is an essential component for building high-density, high-performance computing (HPC) networks, ensuring optimal performance for applications in AI and machine learning.
Expanded Overview:
The NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S50-H005E is built on the **QSFP56** form factor, which provides high port density and configurability. As an active optical cable, it offers a much longer reach than passive copper cables while remaining lightweight and flexible. This enables better airflow within racks and simplifies cable management. The cable is hot-pluggable, making it easy to install and replace without system downtime. It is designed to be fully compliant with the QSFP56 MSA and relevant IEEE standards, ensuring seamless integration and peak performance with NVIDIA’s high-speed networking equipment, such as Quantum switches and ConnectX-6 Host Channel Adapters (HCAs). This Active Optical Cable is a trusted solution for network professionals building high-performance networks, providing a stable and reliable foundation for their high-speed connectivity needs.
