NVIDIA MFA1A00-C050 100Gb/s QSFP28 Active Optical Cable, 50m, for 100GbE Data

The NVIDIA MFA1A00-C050 is a high-speed active optical cable designed for 100Gb/s Ethernet applications. This premium network card alternative features a QSFP28 form factor with integrated VCSEL-based transceivers, providing reliable connectivity for high-performance computing and data center infrastructures. The MFA1A00 series, including variant MFA1A00-C050, represents the next evolution in network interface technology.

• Maximum Data Rate: 100 Gb/s per port
• Cable Length: 50 meters
• Interface: QSFP28 compliant with SFF-8665
• Power Supply: Single 3.3V with typical 2.2W consumption
• Fiber Type: Multi-mode (MMF) with aqua-colored jacket
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Hot-Pluggable: Yes, for easy installation and replacement

This advanced network card solution employs Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology with four parallel multi-mode fibers, each operating at data rates up to 26Gb/s. The cable incorporates selectable retiming capabilities and programmable input equalizers with output pre-emphasis for signal integrity optimization. The MFA1A00-C050 network interface controller complies with SFF-8636 management interface standards.

The active optical cable converts electrical signals to optical signals at each end using integrated transceivers. Electrical data enters through the QSFP28 connector, undergoes signal conditioning with programmable equalization, then converts to optical signals via VCSEL arrays. These optical signals transmit through multi-mode fibers to the receiving end, where they're converted back to electrical signals with programmable output amplitude control.
