Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H100E 200Gb/s HDR/200GbE QSFP56 AOC, 100m LSZH: This is a 100-meter active optical cable (AOC) engineered for VPI 200Gb/s connectivity supporting both InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE Ethernet. The cable uses VCSEL multi-mode optics integrated into both QSFP56 ends with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. The NVIDIA OEM part number is 980-9I44G-00H100. This is a fixed-length factory-terminated assembly, not a transceiver-with-patch-cord pair. This is a New unit.
Engineering Context
The MFS1S00-H100E carries 4 lanes at 50Gb/s PAM4 for an aggregate 200Gb/s line rate. The 100m optical reach is targeted at cross-row and inter-room runs that exceed copper DAC limits (typically a few meters at this speed). VCSEL transmitters and integrated PIN photodiodes provide deterministic signal integrity with negligible jitter contribution. The integrated optics eliminate connector contamination concerns common with separate transceiver-plus-patchcord deployments. The LSZH jacket meets dense data hall fire-safety requirements.
Deployment & Use Cases
Cross-row 200Gb/s HDR fabric extension between Quantum HDR switches in HPC clusters. AI/ML training cluster spine-leaf links between NVIDIA Spectrum-2 SN3700 switches and ConnectX-6 HDR adapters. GPU-to-storage long-reach connectivity in DGX-style pods where copper cannot reach. Long-span inter-rack 200GbE Ethernet in cloud and hyperscale aggregation tiers.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Compatible with NVIDIA Quantum HDR InfiniBand switches (QM8700/QM8790) and Spectrum-2 SN3000 series Ethernet switches. Compatible with ConnectX-6 HDR/200GbE adapters in QSFP56 ports. Not compatible with QSFP28 100Gb/s or QSFP-DD 400Gb/s ports without a dedicated breakout/adapter cable. This is a direct QSFP56-to-QSFP56 assembly; does not support 2x100Gb/s or 4x50Gb/s breakout. Fixed 100m length — cannot be field-shortened.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the MFS1S00-H100E?
The MFS1S00-H100E is a 100m straight active optical cable with QSFP56 connectors, rated for HDR 200Gb/s InfiniBand or 200GbE Ethernet, LSZH jacket.
Q. Is this a GPU or AI system component?
No. It is a networking cable - an active optical cable for InfiniBand/Ethernet fabrics, not a compute accelerator.
Q. Will T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS confirm the configuration of MFS1S00-H100E 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.
