Identity
The NVIDIA Mellanox® MFA2P10-A100 is a SFP28 25GbE 100m Active Optical Cable (AOC). Refurbished Grade A — bench-tested in both link and signal-integrity checks by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.
What This Is NOT
- NOT a passive copper DAC. Active optical cable using VCSEL multi-mode fiber technology with integrated optics on each end — reaches longer distances than DAC.
- NOT a transceiver. Fixed-length cable assembly; the optics are integrated and cannot be removed or replaced.
- NOT a splitter or breakout cable. 1-to-1 cable assembly only.
- NOT bundled with adapters or transceivers — sold standalone.
Capabilities & Features
- VCSEL multi-mode optical engine, 850 nm.
- Active retiming on each end for clean signal regeneration.
- DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) — temperature, voltage, optical power readable via I²C.
- EEPROM on each end with product identification and operating data.
- Hot-pluggable into any matching QSFP/SFP cage.
Compatibility & Constraints
- Primary connector: SFP28 (compliant with MSA cage spec).
- Reach: 100m fixed length.
- Speed: 25GbE.
- Compatible adapters: ConnectX-4 Lx / ConnectX-5 / ConnectX-6 Lx.
- Compatible switches: NVIDIA Spectrum.
- Power: drawn from host port (no external supply required).
Deployment & Use Cases
- Top-of-Rack to server interconnect.
- HPC compute node fabric.
- AI training cluster east-west bandwidth.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the MFA2P10-A100?
The MFA2P10-A100 is a 100m active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends, rated for 25GbE Ethernet.
Q. Is this a splitter cable?
No. It is a straight 1-to-1 SFP28-to-SFP28 point-to-point assembly.
Q. Will T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS confirm the configuration of MFA2P10-A100 before shipping?
Yes. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS (tes-itsolutions.com) bench-tests each unit where test topology is available, before dispatch from EU stock.
Why T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS
Every unit is bench-tested by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS: link establishment, port-by-port traffic validation, and full cosmetic inspection. Professional anti-static packaging, global B2B shipping from EU stock, and technical consultation for HPC / AI cluster deployments.
