AddOn Networks MFS1S00-V005E-AO 5 meter 200G QSFP56 active optical cable

Overview :

The AddOn Networks MFS1S00-V005E-AO is a 200GbE QSFP56 active optical cable designed for high-density data center interconnects. It is typically deployed by network engineers supporting leaf-spine fabrics, HPC clusters, and high-throughput storage or AI environments where copper DAC limits become a constraint.

This cable delivers 200Gbps throughput using QSFP56 interfaces with parallel optical lanes, optimized for short-reach connections such as top-of-rack to switch or switch-to-switch links. It operates at 850nm over multimode fiber and supports low-latency transmission with reduced power draw compared to copper alternatives.

Deployment is straightforward with hot-swappable QSFP56 connectors, making it suitable for live environments requiring minimal downtime. The 5-meter length targets intra-rack and adjacent rack connectivity in structured data center layouts.

It is validated for compatibility with Mellanox/NVIDIA MFS1S00-V005E platforms and similar QSFP56-based systems. Not suitable for long-distance runs or single-mode fiber infrastructure—this is strictly a short-range MMF AOC solution.
