NVIDIA MFS1S50-H003V 200G to 2x100G QSFP56 Active Optical Splitter Cable

1. Product Overview

The NVIDIA® MFS1S50-H003V is a high-performance, low-latency Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed to split a single 200Gb/s QSFP56 port into two independent 100Gb/s QSFP56 connections. Ideal for high-speed data center interconnects, this optical fiber cable supports both InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE protocols, delivering reliable and power-efficient connectivity for modern hyperscale and enterprise data environments.

2. Key Characteristics

• 200G to 2x100G bidirectional data splitting over multimode fiber (MMF)
• Low power consumption: 4.5W (200G end), 3.0W (100G end)
• Supports PAM4 modulation and 4x50G lanes
• Hot-pluggable, SFF-8665 compliant QSFP56 connectors
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) with real-time per-lane monitoring
• Up to 30-meter reach with aqua-colored OM3/OM4 fiber

3. Technology & Standards

The MFS1S50 passive fiber cable alternative leverages VCSEL-based optical technology and complies with industry standards including SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and IBTA HDR. It features programmable Rx output amplitude, pre-emphasis, and Tx equalization for optimized signal integrity.

4. Working Principle

The AOC converts electrical signals from the host system into optical signals using integrated VCSEL transmitters. The optical signals are transmitted over four MMF pairs, split into two independent 100G streams, and converted back to electrical signals at the dual QSFP56 ends. Each end includes an EEPROM for identification and real-time health monitoring via I²C.

5. Applications

• Data center spine-leaf architecture
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• AI and machine learning training networks
• Cloud infrastructure and storage area networks (SAN)
• 200G/100G InfiniBand and Ethernet switch-to-server interconnects

6. Specifications & Selection Guide

7. Advantages

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable compatible with 100GbE switches?
A: Yes, the 100G ends are compatible with standard QSFP56 100GbE ports.

Q: Can I use this in a non-InfiniBand environment?
A: Yes, it supports both InfiniBand HDR and 200/100Gb Ethernet.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: 0°C to 70°C case temperature.

10. Precautions

• Avoid bending radius below 30mm to prevent fiber damage.
• Ensure connectors are clean before insertion.
• Use ESD precautions during handling.
• Verify host system compatibility before deployment.
