Mellanox® MFA1A00-Exxx are QSFP28 VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) active optical cables designed for use in InfiniBand 100Gb/s EDR systems. 100G EDR AOCs are the most popular interconnect used in very high-speed InfiniBand High Performance Computing (HPC) environments as they offer predictable latency, very low power (2.2W) and enable increased air flow, tighter bend radii and significantly longer reach compared to DAC cables. Since the AOC is hot pluggable, it is easy to install and replace.
MFA1A00-Exxx has a standard SFF-8665 compliant QSFP28 port on the electrical side towards the host system. It contains four multi-mode fibers (MMF) optic transceivers per end, each operating at data rates of up to 26Gb/s.
MFA1A00-Exxx offers selectable retiming per lane for both its optical transmitters and receivers for the 25-26Gbp/s rates, but the AOC also supports lower bit rates without retiming. The transmitters have programmable input equalizers and input squelch function, while the receivers have programmable output amplitude and pre-emphasis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum data throughput supported by the Mellanox MFA1A00-E010? +
The MFA1A00-E010 is an active optical cable (AOC) specifically engineered to support InfiniBand EDR performance. It delivers high-speed data transmission at rates up to 100Gb/s, making it an ideal solution for bandwidth-intensive data center environments that require low-latency interconnects between high-performance computing nodes and switches.
What type of connector interface does this Mellanox cable utilize? +
This cable features the industry-standard QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) interface on both ends. This connector type is widely compatible with most 100Gb/s Mellanox switch ports and network interface cards, ensuring a seamless plug-and-play experience when integrating into your existing high-speed fabric infrastructure.
Is the MFA1A00-E010 suitable for data center environments with strict fire safety requirements? +
Yes, this cable is constructed with an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket. This material is specifically designed to minimize the emission of toxic and corrosive gases during a fire, making it a compliant and safer choice for installation in enclosed data center spaces and high-density enterprise server rooms.
What is the total cable length for the MFA1A00-E010? +
The MFA1A00-E010 provides a fixed cable length of 10 meters. This distance is optimized for short-to-medium reach interconnects within a rack or between adjacent rack rows, providing the flexibility needed for organized cable management without the signal degradation typically associated with traditional copper-based passive cabling.
Can I use the MFA1A00-E010 for InfiniBand applications? +
Absolutely. This cable is purpose-built for InfiniBand EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) environments. It provides the reliable, high-speed physical layer connection required to maintain the strict performance metrics and latency requirements demanded by InfiniBand-based clustering and storage networking architectures.
Why choose an active optical cable like the MFA1A00-E010 over a passive copper DAC? +
Active optical cables offer significant advantages over passive copper direct attach cables, particularly at the 10-meter reach. Because it utilizes optical signals rather than electrical copper signaling, the MFA1A00-E010 is lighter, more flexible for routing, and significantly more resistant to electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity across the entire 10-meter span.
Does the MFA1A00-E010 require external power or complex configuration? +
This is an active cable, meaning it contains integrated circuitry within the QSFP modules to boost and manage the signal. It draws its required power directly from the host switch or NIC port through the QSFP interface. No external power sources or manual software configurations are needed for the cable to establish a link.
What kind of port density does this cable support? +
The slim profile of the MFA1A00-E010 fiber cabling allows for high-density port usage on your networking hardware. By occupying minimal space in front of your switch ports, this cable facilitates better airflow compared to thicker copper alternatives, helping to maintain optimal thermal conditions within high-density high-performance computing clusters.
How can I obtain a bulk quote for multiple Mellanox MFA1A00-E010 units? +
