The NVIDIA/Mellanox MFA1A00-E0xx Compatible Active Optical Cable (AOC) delivers high-performance 100Gb/s QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectivity over 10 meters, fully compliant with QSFP28 MSA and IEEE 802.3bm standards. Featuring four parallel lanes of 25Gb/s each, this cable ensures optimal signal integrity and bandwidth for InfiniBand EDR applications.
Designed for modern data centers and HPC environments, this 100G AOC is a reliable, low-power, and cost-effective alternative to transceivers and fiber patch cords. It is ideal for connecting NVIDIA GPU clusters, InfiniBand networks, and high-speed storage fabrics.
Compared to DAC cables, this AOC is lighter, more flexible, supports longer distances, and improves airflow within dense server racks—making it the perfect choice for high-bandwidth and low-latency environments.
