  • QSFP56 form factor fits standard switch ports
  • Active optical design keeps signal integrity over long runs

200Gb/s Active Optical Cable 100m

This Mellanox active optical cable supports up to 200Gb/s over a 100m run using QSFP56 connectors. It is built for InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE links in high-performance compute or storage clusters. The assembly arrives new and ready for rack deployment.

QSFP56 plug-in install, verify port speed match

Installation is a direct QSFP56 plug into compatible switch or NIC ports with no separate transceiver required. The main issue is a speed or protocol mismatch if the connected port does not negotiate 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR or 200GbE. Cable routing must respect the minimum bend radius for optical fibre.

Highlights

  • 200 Gb/s throughput for high-density compute clusters
  • 100 m reach links distant racks without repeaters
  • QSFP56 form factor fits standard switch ports

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 200Gb/s link is active after installing the QSFP56 cable?

Check the switch or NIC port LEDs for a solid link light and confirm the negotiated speed shows 200Gb/s in the management interface.

What comes in the box with this 100m active optical cable and what must be purchased separately?

The package contains the 100m QSFP56 active optical cable only; compatible QSFP56 ports on switches or adapters are required separately.
