NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H050V 200Gb/s QSFP56 AOC, 50m

The NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H050V is a 50-meter active optical cable designed for up to 200Gb/s VPI connectivity, supporting InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE applications. It uses QSFP56 connectors on both ends and is part of NVIDIA's MFS1S00-HxxxV family, which spans multiple cable lengths. The 50m version is suited to longer data-center interconnect paths where passive copper is unsuitable or insufficient. NVIDIA's current ordering documentation identifies the newer NVIDIA OPN as 980-9I447-00H050.

OVERVIEW

  • The MFS1S00-H050V is a 50m NVIDIA Mellanox active optical cable for up to 200Gb/s VPI, supporting HDR InfiniBand and 200GbE. Compatibility: QSFP56-to-QSFP56 connections on supported NVIDIA networking platforms. Model comparison: the H050V provides 50m reach versus shorter HxxxV variants such as 30m or 20m. Need: choose it for long, high-bandwidth rack-to-rack or fabric links where 50m reach is required.

USE CASES

  • HDR InfiniBand fabric interconnects — Supports up to 200Gb/s HDR connectivity, making the cable suitable for high-throughput compute and storage fabrics. 
  • 200GbE data-center networking — NVIDIA's current validation documentation lists the H050V for 200GE applications, allowing the same cable family to address Ethernet deployments. 
  • Longer rack-to-rack connections — The 50m length provides substantially more deployment reach than short DAC alternatives, helping connect equipment across larger data-center rows.
  • HPC cluster networking — High-bandwidth HDR connectivity is appropriate for compute clusters where node-to-node communication can influence application performance.
  • AI infrastructure fabrics — High-speed interconnects can support distributed accelerator and server environments where large amounts of data move between compute nodes.
  • High-performance storage networks — 200Gb/s-class connectivity provides bandwidth suitable for demanding storage traffic and data-intensive applications.
  • Data-center fabric expansion — The 50m reach can simplify physical deployment when network endpoints are separated by multiple racks or rows.
  • Enterprise 200GbE links — Provides a factory-terminated optical solution for compatible 200GbE ports without requiring separate transceiver and fiber procurement.

KEY FEATURES

  • Up to 200Gb/s data rate — Provides high-bandwidth connectivity for demanding InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE infrastructure. 
  • 50-meter active optical design — Delivers longer reach than typical passive copper options, giving data-center architects more flexibility in equipment placement.
  • QSFP56-to-QSFP56 configuration — Factory-terminated QSFP56 connectors simplify deployment by eliminating the need to separately source compatible optics and fiber for each end. 
  • VPI support — Supports both InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE environments, giving infrastructure teams greater deployment flexibility. 
  • VCSEL-based optical technology — Uses VCSEL-based active optical technology to provide the optical transmission required for the 50m cable length. 
  • Single integrated cable assembly — The active optical cable combines the optical path and end modules into one assembly, reducing installation complexity compared with separately specified optics and fiber.
  • NVIDIA validated product family — NVIDIA's current validation material lists MFS1S00-H050V with NVIDIA OPN 980-9I447-00H050 for HDR/200GE deployments, providing a clear procurement identifier. 
  • Multiple-length family availability — The MFS1S00-HxxxV family includes 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m, 50m and 100m variants, allowing cable length to be matched to physical topology.

  • High-bandwidth fabric connectivity — Up to 200Gb/s supports data-intensive compute, AI and storage workloads.
  • Simplified procurement — The QSFP56-to-QSFP56 integrated assembly avoids separately specifying compatible transceivers and optical patching.
  • NVIDIA-specific validation — The H050V appears in NVIDIA's supported cable documentation with its current OPN, helping procurement teams validate the exact SKU. 
  • Longer-distance alternative to copper — Active optical transmission enables a 50m deployment option where passive copper is not the appropriate physical medium.
  • Scalable cable family — Matching HxxxV lengths allow infrastructure teams to standardize on the MFS1S00 family while selecting cable length according to rack topology.
