NVIDIA/Mellanox MFS1S00-H020V Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 InfiniBand HDR Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

The MFS1S00-H020V cable offers a direct QSFP56 to QSFP56 connection at 200Gbps. Its 20m (66ft) length and AOC construction are intended for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

The listed modulation format is PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

The extended 20m (66ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

MFS1S00-H020V occupies the middle of this family between MFS1S00-H015V at 15m (49ft) and MFS1S00-H030V at 30m (98ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 10m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The rated power consumption is 4.35W Per End. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

This assembly uses LSZH jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3, QSFP56 MSA, SFF-8665, SFF-8636, InfiniBand HDR. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

Each MFS1S00-H020V compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended NVIDIA/Mellanox platform should be included with the order.

Use part number MFS1S00-H020V for the 20m (66ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Every MFS1S00-H020V compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 20m (66ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
