Introduction

NVIDIA® MFS1S90 is a QSFP56 VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), cost-effective 2x 200Gb/s to 2x 200Gb/s active optical splitter cable (AOC), designed for use in 200Gb/s InfiniBand (IB) HDR (High Data Rate) systems. It provides cross-connect capability between ToR (Top of Rack) and Spine switches. The cable enables a HDR InfiniBand QSFP56 switch port to operate as 2x HDR100. It creates a non-blocking fat-tree topology doubling the number of ports. This eliminates a third level of switching, which is needed for traditional cluster design of 1600 up to 3200 HDR100 ports, and results in significant CAPEX and OPEX savings. By reducing a layer of switching the cluster latency is reduced, which results in improved performance.

Each QSFP56 end of the cable comprises an EEPROM providing product and status monitoring information, which can be read by the host system.

NVIDIA’s unique-quality cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for data center interconnects. It enables higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost, and reduced power requirement in the data centers. Rigorous production testing ensures the best out-of-the-box installation experience, performance and durability.
