Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 10 m (MFS1S00-H010E_FF-BO)

The Active Optical Cable BlueOptics QSFP56 200Gb/s Infiniband HDR, 10 m is a factory-terminated active fiber assembly that delivers a 200Gb/s data rate in a QSFP56 form factor. Designed for Infiniband HDR environments, this 10-meter AOC provides a low-latency, high-bandwidth optical interconnect for short- to mid-range links in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The twinax-style fiber assembly integrates optical transceivers and a durable cable jacket to simplify installation between switches, servers and storage systems while maintaining signal integrity over the specified reach.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers a high aggregate throughput of 200Gb/s with minimal added latency, making it suitable for latency-sensitive environments. The QSFP56 form factor ensures compatibility with standard QSFP56 ports used in modern network switches and adapters. Passive handling is simplified by the integrated transceiver modules and factory-terminated ends, reducing on-site termination errors and installation time. The 10 m length balances reach and manageability for mid-rack and short inter-rack connections in dense deployments.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring HDR Infiniband connectivity
• Data center interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch links within a 10 m range
• Low-latency applications such as distributed databases and real-time analytics

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on the devices to be connected. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug recommendations from equipment vendors if available. Verify link status through the host devices' port indicators or management interfaces after connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or excessive strain and secure it with appropriate cable management to maintain signal performance and physical integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this AOC in HDR Infiniband topologies where 200Gb/s links and low latency are required. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends, maintain a clean environment to prevent contamination of the optical interfaces, and consult switch or adapter documentation for any firmware or configuration required to enable full link speed.
