MFS1S-H1V 2Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC)
1. Product Overview
The MFS1S-H1V is a high-performance 2Gb/s QSFP56 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for next-generation data center and high-performance computing interconnects. It supports both InfiniBand HDR and 2 Gigabit Ethernet standards, delivering reliable, low-latency, and power-efficient connectivity. This Optical Fiber Cable is ideal for high-density rack deployments and long-reach applications where copper cabling falls short.
2. Key Characteristics
Supports 2Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 2GbE
Hot-pluggable QSFP56 form factor
Up to 1m reach over multi-mode fiber
Low power consumption: 5.W typical per end
RoHS compliant and SFF-8636 management interface
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) per lane
3. Technology & Standards
This passive fiber cable alternative leverages VCSEL-based optical technology and complies with industry standards including SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and InfiniBand HDR. It uses PAM4 modulation for high-speed data transmission and supports advanced features like retiming, programmable equalization, and real-time diagnostics.
4. Working Principle
The AOC converts electrical signals into optical signals using integrated VCSEL transceivers at each end. Data is transmitted over four multi-mode fibers, each operating at 5Gb/s. The cable includes built-in signal retiming and conditioning to ensure signal integrity over extended distances, making it superior to passive copper solutions.
5. Applications
2G InfiniBand HDR clusters
2GbE spine-leaf networks
High-performance computing (HPC) environments
Cloud data center interconnects
AI and machine learning infrastructure
7. Advantages
Lower latency and higher bandwidth compared to DAC cables
Lightweight and flexible for easier cable management
Immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Better reach than passive copper solutions
Integrated diagnostics for proactive monitoring
