Model / Part Number: QSFP-100G-A1H (980-9I13D-00E001 Series)

Brand: NVIDIA / Mellanox Compatible Original Equivalent

Active Optical Cable : NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatible 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC), 850nm VCSEL Transmitters, Integrated 4-Channel Full-Duplex Optical Transceiver Ends, Up to 100m Length Options, LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) Cable Jacket, 4x25.781Gb/s NRZ Electrical Modulation, Max Power Consumption 2.2W per End

The 100G AOC QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable is a high-speed, cost-effective interconnect solution designed for High-Performance Computing (HPC) fabrics, enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and AI/machine learning clusters. Consisting of 4 full-duplex optical lanes operating at up to 28Gb/s per channel, this active optical cable delivers an aggregated throughput of 100Gb/s over lightweight, flexible multi-mode fiber assemblies.

Engineered to deliver high bandwidth and ultra-low latency, this active optical cable assembly is fully compliant with InfiniBand EDR protocols, QSFP28 MSA standards, and 100G Ethernet specifications. It serves as an ideal alternative to direct attach copper (DAC) cables for longer reach requirements without compromising port density or power efficiency. It is 100% verified for seamless plug-and-play interoperability with NVIDIA SB7800 / SB7890 EDR InfiniBand Switches and ConnectX-5 / ConnectX-6 Network Interface Cards (NICs / HCAs).

Key Features

• High-Speed 100G Throughput: Aggregates four 25G/28G NRZ lanes to achieve full 100Gb/s bidirectional throughput across switch-to-switch and switch-to-adapter links.
• Lightweight & Flexible Cabling: Features a small 7.5mm outer diameter and a tight 30mm minimum bend radius, ensuring easy routing inside high-density rack enclosures.
• Low Power Consumption: Consumes only 2.2W per cable end, helping to lower total thermal dissipation and overall cooling energy usage in the data center.
• LSZH Safety Outer Jacket: Flame-retardant Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket construction ensures compliance with strict data center safety standards.
• 100% Hardware Interoperability: Rigorously tested in original NVIDIA/Mellanox switch and NIC environments to guarantee flawless signal integrity and compliance with IBTA Industrial BER standards.
