Overview
Product overview
The NVIDIA MFA1A00-E020 is a high-performance QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) engineered for 100Gb/s InfiniBand EDR and Ethernet applications. This Optical Fiber Cable delivers a robust 20-meter reach, significantly outperforming passive copper solutions in data center environments. It integrates four multi-mode fibers (MMF) per end, each capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 26 Gb/s. Designed for high port density and hot-pluggable convenience, this passive fiber cable alternative offers superior configurability and power efficiency, making it an ideal choice for modern high-speed interconnects.
Key features
- Data rates up to 100 Gb/s for high-bandwidth applications: Hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor for easy installation and maintenance
- Programmable receiver output amplitude and pre-emphasis for signal integrity
- Selectable retiming per lane for optimized performance at 26 Gb/s: Low power consumption: 2.2W typical per end (with retiming)
- Reach of up to 100 meters with multi-mode fiber: Compliant with SFF-8665, SFF-8636, and RoHS standards
- Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance tracking: 3. Core Technology & Standards
- The MFA1A00-E020 leverages Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology to ensure reliable data transmission. It fully complies with key industry standards, including SFF-8665 for the QSFP28 interface and SFF-8636 for the I²C management interface. This Optical Fiber Cable supports 100GbE Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR protocols, ensuring broad interoperability. Its advanced firmware enables sophisticated Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), providing insights into temperature, voltage, laser bias, and optical power levels.
- This active optical cable functions by converting electrical signals from the host system into optical signals via integrated VCSEL transmitters. These optical signals are then transmitted over the multi-mode fiber. At the receiving end, optical detectors convert the signals back into electrical data. The cable features built-in retiming capabilities (CDR) on each lane to correct signal jitter and distortion, ensuring data integrity over extended distances. This integrated approach eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cables, simplifying the link and enhancing reliability. This passive fiber cable alternative is a complete, plug-and-play solution.
- The MFA1A00-E020 is designed for high-performance computing environments that demand low latency and high bandwidth.
Typical applications
- Short-reach copper links
- AOC breakout and rack cabling
- GPU cluster interconnect
