About the MFS1S00-E003E
The NVIDIA MFS1S00-E003E active optical cable assembly provides reliable 100Gb/s InfiniBand EDR and 100GbE connectivity for supercomputing clusters and enterprise storage area fabrics. With integrated optical transceiver ends connected by lightweight optical fibre, it delivers low signal attenuation and low latency data transport.
Compatibility
Compatible with NVIDIA Quantum SB7700, SB7790, SB7800, SB7890, and CS7500 InfiniBand switches, as well as Spectrum SN2000 and SN3000 Ethernet switches. It links ConnectX-4 and ConnectX-5 adapters directly with zero optical cleaning or patch cord maintenance required.
How to identify a genuine unit
Enclosed in a slim orange optical jacket permanently bonded to metal QSFP28 connector hoods with integrated pull tab release latches. The vendor label specifies part number MFS1S00-E003E, assembly code 00MN528, authentic serial number, and international regulatory safety markers.
Buying used
Inspect the cable jacket for pinch damage, sharp kinking, or excessive bending along the optical run. Test in an active InfiniBand switch to verify that OpenSM or the switch firmware registers 100Gb/s EDR 4x link width with zero bit error accumulation over time.
