NVIDIA/Mellanox MFS1S50-V015E Compatible 200G QSFP56 4 x 50G PAM4 to 2 x 100G QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 Ethernet Active Optical Breakout Cable, 15m (49ft)

The HT-manufactured MFS1S50-V015E compatible cable provides 200G connectivity for NVIDIA/Mellanox equipment. This 15m (49ft) version is a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

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 intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3, QSFP56 MSA, SFF-8024, SFF-8679, SFF-8665, and SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP56 to 2x QSFP56 configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

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.

The extended 15m (49ft) 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.

MFS1S50-V015E occupies the middle of this family between MFS1S50-V010E at 10m (33ft) and MFS1S50-V020E at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. 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 4.5W (200G End) 1.25W (100G 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 OFNP 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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with MFS1S50-V015E, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 15m (49ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new NVIDIA/Mellanox software can request a pre-order check.

This product is ordered as MFS1S50-V015E in 15m (49ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
