Mellanox MFS1S00-V020E (980-9I44T-00V020)

A QSFP56 VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) active optical cable (AOC) designed for use in 200 Gb/s Ethernet systems. It offers high port density and configurability, and a much longer reach than passive copper cables in the data centers. Since the AOC is hot pluggable, it is easy to install and replace, and has a standard SFF-8665 compliant QSFP56 port on the electrical side towards the host system. It contains four multimode fibers (MMF) optic transceivers per end, each operating at data rates of up to 50 Gb/s. This unique quality active fiber cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for data center interconnects. They enable higher port bandwidth, density and configurability at a low cost, and reduced power requirement in the data centers.
