Description
The MFA1A00-C030 NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatible 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) provides a high-speed 100Gbps QSFP28-to-QSFP28 connection over a 30-meter (98.43 ft) optical cable.
Designed for 100G Ethernet applications, this active optical cable is suited for direct connections between switches, servers, and network interface cards within or between adjacent racks. Its lightweight and slim optical construction helps simplify cable routing and management compared with traditional copper cabling.
The cable operates at an 850nm wavelength, supports a 3.3V power supply, and consumes less than 2.2W. It is designed for commercial environments operating from 0Β°C to 70Β°C and supports IEEE 802.3bm and SFF-8665 protocols. The assembly is hot-pluggable and compliant with QSFP28 MSA and RoHS-6 requirements.
