Mellanox Technologies MFS1S00-H010V 200G QSFP56 10 m fibre optic cable

SKU CH-QHZP-9G88G MPN MFS1S00-H010V

Active optical cable carries 200 Gbit/s over 10 m with QSFP56 connectors

  • 200 Gbit/s bandwidth for high-performance InfiniBand links
  • QSFP56 connectors on both ends for direct device connection
  • 10 m active optical cable spans rack-to-rack distances
  • 81 ft length suits standard data-centre layouts
  • LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in fire

What this cable is and who it is for

The Mellanox MFS1S00-H010V is a 200 Gbit/s Active Optical Cable with QSFP56 connectors on both ends. It spans 10 m (32.81 ft) and is built for InfiniBand HDR or 200G Ethernet links between switches, servers or storage arrays. Buyers who need copper reach or a different data rate should look elsewhere.

What to check before ordering

Verify that both endpoints present QSFP56 ports rated for 200 Gbit/s operation and that the link protocol matches either InfiniBand HDR or 200G Ethernet. Confirm the 10 m length fits the rack layout without excess slack or tension. Ensure the LSZH jacket meets any local fire-safety requirements for the installation site.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

As an active optical assembly the cable draws power from the host ports but adds no fans or moving parts, so it runs silently. Heat generated by the onboard optics is dissipated through the module casing into the port cage. Typical power draw stays within the QSFP56 specification for AOCs, leaving the thermal budget of the surrounding equipment unchanged.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 m Mellanox MFS1S00-H010V arrive as a complete QSFP56-to-QSFP56 link, or must I purchase transceivers separately?

The cable is an active optical assembly with QSFP56 connectors permanently integrated at both ends, so no separate transceivers are required.

How do I decide between this 10 m 200 Gbit/s AOC and a different length or speed from the same series?

Choose the 10 m version when the rack-to-rack or switch-to-server distance is close to 32.81 ft and the link must run at 200 Gbit/s; other lengths or data rates carry different part numbers.

What does the 200 Gbit/s rating mean once the cable is installed in a live InfiniBand HDR or 200GbE fabric?

It indicates the cable supports the full 200 Gbit/s lane rate defined for HDR InfiniBand and 200 Gigabit Ethernet, allowing the connected ports to negotiate that speed without the cable becoming the bottleneck.
