Mellanox MFS1S00-H010E 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable, 10m 980-9I45G-00H010

High-density data centers and HPC clusters need reliable, high-bandwidth interconnects that don't compromise on signal integrity over distance. The Mellanox MFS1S00-H010E is a 10-meter active optical cable that delivers 100Gb/s throughput with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, eliminating the bulk and fragility of copper while keeping latency low.

Who is it for

Network architects and system integrators deploying 100GbE Ethernet or EDR InfiniBand fabrics in enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, or research environments. It suits top-of-rack to end-of-row links where longer reach is required without adding optical transceivers and patch panels.

Main features

• 100 Gb/s data rate per port using QSFP28 MSA-compliant connectors
• Active optical cable construction for longer reach and lighter weight than DAC
• 10-meter length ideal for inter-rack or row-to-row connectivity
• Hot-pluggable and low power consumption (< 3.5W per end)
• Operates from 0°C to 70°C, suitable for typical data center environments
