Detailed Specifications

NVIDIA MFA1A00-C015

Mellanox MFA1A00‑C015 100 Gb/s InfiniBand/Ethernet QSFP28 15 m  Active Optical Cable

The NVIDIA Mellanox  MFA1A00‑C015 Active Optical Cable is a high-performance 100 Gigabit solution engineered for data centers and HPC environments using InfiniBand EDR or 100 GbE networks. With its 15 m fiber length and QSFP28-to-QSFP28 interfaces, it simplifies long-reach connectivity while maintaining ultra-low latency and power efficiency.

Features

Designed around QSFP28 VCSEL transceivers and OM3 multimode fiber, this AOC enables high-density deployments and extended reach compared with passive copper tail cables. Each cable comprises four independent lanes capable of up to 26 Gb/s per direction, enabling switch-to-switch or server connections across racks or rows. It’s fully hot-swappable and SFF‑8665 compliant, making upgrades or replacements quick and safe.

Advanced Options

The MFA1A00‑C015 supports selectable retiming per lane, programmable transmit equalizers, and output amplitude pre-emphasis—enhancing signal integrity across longer distances. DOM support provides real-time optical diagnostics, ensuring network reliability.

Product Key Features

    •  100 Gb/s throughput via 4×25 Gb/s lanes over QSFP28 connectors

    •  15 m OM3 multimode fiber reach for data center interconnects

    •  Hot‑pluggable SFF‑8665 compliant QSFP28 ports at both ends

    •  Low power consumption (~2.2 W per end with retiming enabled)

    •  Supports digital optical monitoring (DOM) and retiming per lane

    •  Compatible with InfiniBand EDR and 100 Gb Ethernet systems

Reliability & Performance

With stringent production testing and rugged construction, the MFA1A00‑C015 delivers a BER better than 1E‑15 and operational continuity. Typical power draw is approximately 2.2 W per end with retiming enabled. The cable supports standard commercial temperature ranges and integrates with leading InfiniBand or Ethernet fabrics seamlessly, ensuring compatibility and consistent performance in demanding environments

Key Features :

  • Supports 100 Gb/s over four 25 Gb/s lanes

  • 15 m multimode fiber length (OM3)

  • QSFP28 connectors both ends, hot‑pluggable

  • Programmable Tx/Rx equalization and lane retiming

  • Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) enabled

  • Low power consumption (≤ 2.5 W per end)

  • SFF‑8665 / SFF‑8636 compliant

  • BER better than 1E‑15

  • RoHS‑compliant, LSZH jacket

  • Compatible with InfiniBand EDR and 100 GbE
