Connect QSFP56 equipment over a fixed 100 m optical path for 200 Gb/s fabric links between racks, rows, or separated network zones. The active optical construction integrates the cable and optical endpoints into one assembly, avoiding the separate modules and fiber patch leads required by a transceiver-based link. QSFP56 connectors on both ends provide a direct port-to-port connection for compatible 200 Gb/s interfaces. AddOn Networks MFS1S00-H100V-AO is specified as Mellanox-compatible and TAA-compliant, making it suited to deployments that require a compatible 200GBASE-AOC cable and a defined 100 m reach. Its active optical design addresses distances beyond practical short-reach copper interconnects while retaining the familiar QSFP56 interface at each endpoint. The fixed assembly also removes connector-media selection from the link build because the optical path is integral to the cable. This 100 m version fits high-speed switching and compute fabrics where endpoints cannot be placed in adjacent racks. Use it for spine-to-leaf connections, storage-network paths, GPU or HPC fabric links, and other 200 Gb/s QSFP56 connections that need longer in-room or cross-row reach. Confirm that both endpoint ports support QSFP56 active optical cables and that the cable route permits the required 100 m installed path.
