The NVIDIA MFS1S00-H030V is a QSFP56 VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) active optical cable (AOC) designed for use in 200Gb/s InfiniBand (IB) HDR (High Data Rate) systems.
The MFS1S00-H030V AOC offers high port density and configurability, and a much longer reach than passive copper cables in the data centers. Since the AOC is hot pluggable, it is easy to install and replace. The MFS1S00-H030V has a standard SFF-8665 compliant QSFP56 port on the electrical side towards the host system. It contains four multi-mode fibers (MMF) optic transceivers per end, each operating at data rates of up to 50Gb/s. The MFS1S00-H030V offers selectable retiming per lane for both its optical transmitters and receivers up to 50Gb/s rates.
NVIDIA’s unique quality cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for data center interconnects. It enables higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost, and reduced power requirement in the data centers. Rigorous production testing ensures the best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance and durability.

Other SFF-8636 functions and interrupt indications:
LOS, LOL, and Tx Fault status flags can be read via the two-wire management interface and arejointly transmitted via the IntL output pin. Relevant advertisement, threshold, and readout registersare found in the SFF-8636 MSA.Handling Precautions and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)The MFS1S00-HxxxV is compatible with ESD levels in typical data center operating environments andcertified in accordance with the standards listed in the Regulatory Compliance Section. The productis shipped with protective caps on its connectors to protect it until the time of installation. Innormal handling and operation of high-speed cables and optical transceivers, ESD is of concernduring insertion into the QSFP cage of the server/switch. Hence, standard ESD handling precautionsmust be observed. These include use of grounded wrist/shoe straps and ESD floor wherever a cable/transceiver is extracted/inserted. Electrostatic discharges to the exterior of the host equipmentchassis after installation are subject to system level ESD requirements.
