- 100 Gb/s bandwidth over 10 m active optical link
- QSFP28 connectors on both ends for direct device connection
- OM3 multimode fibre at 850 nm wavelength
- LSZH jacket with 25 mm minimum bend radius
- 3 mm cable diameter for dense rack routing
Active optical cable for 100 Gb/s links
This Mellanox MFA1A00-E010 active optical cable carries 100 Gb/s over a ten metre OM3 fibre. QSFP28 connectors on both ends plug directly into compatible switch or adapter ports. It suits data-centre racks and high-performance clusters that need low-latency connections across the row.
LSZH jacket and tight bend radius for dense routing
The cable measures three millimetres in diameter and bends to a minimum radius of twenty-five millimetres. A low-smoke zero-halogen jacket meets common building-code requirements in equipment rooms. QSFP28-to-QSFP28 mating is hot-pluggable, so links can be added or moved without powering down the chassis.
Low-voltage operation with 850 nm VCSELs
Each end draws power from the host 3.3 V supply, avoiding external adapters. 850 nm vertical-cavity emitters keep insertion loss low across the full ten metre span. The assembly runs cool and silent, leaving airflow and acoustic budgets untouched in packed cabinets.

Questions about this item
What does the 100 Gb/s QSFP28 interface cap in real use?
The active optical cable is rated for 100 Gb/s over the full 10 m length using OM3 fibre at 850 nm.
What clearance does the 3 mm LSZH jacket and 25 mm bend radius need?
Allow at least 25 mm radius for any bend and route the 3 mm cable through trays or ducts that accept a 3 mm diameter.
How is the QSFP28 AOC installed and what step is often missed?
Insert each QSFP28 end straight into the port until the latch clicks; the common miss is not hearing the click, which leaves the link down.
