About the MFS1S00-H003E
The NVIDIA MFS1S00-H003E active optical cable assembly delivers high bandwidth 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE connectivity for high performance computing fabrics and AI training clusters. Incorporating factory-terminated optical transceivers on lightweight flexible multimode fibre, it provides easy cable routing and low electromagnetic interference.
Compatibility
Compatible with NVIDIA Quantum QM8700 and QM8790 InfiniBand switches, as well as Spectrum-2 SN3700 and Spectrum-3 SN4600 Ethernet switches. It interfaces directly with ConnectX-6 HDR host channel adapters without requiring field optical terminations.
How to identify a genuine unit
Features a slim orange optical cable jacket permanently terminated in zinc die-cast QSFP56 connector shells. Both connector ends include an ergonomic pull tab release mechanism and an adhesive label showing part number MFS1S00-H003E and authentic serial number barcode.
Buying used
Inspect the flexible optical cable jacket for crushing or tight bend deformation. Plug both ends into active Quantum or Spectrum switch ports to confirm that the internal optical engines power up cleanly and that Subnet Manager recognizes the 200Gb/s HDR link.
