Mellanox Active Optical Cable 200 Gb/s QSFP56 LSZH

Keep high-speed fabrics compact, cool, and predictable with an active optical cable designed for 200 Gb/s-class connectivity. This Mellanox QSFP56 cable supports InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE deployments, giving infrastructure teams a direct path for short-reach interconnects where copper would add weight, bend stress, and airflow obstruction. Active optical design helps preserve performance across the link while simplifying routing in crowded racks and top-of-rack environments. The LSZH jacket is a practical fit for enclosed spaces and enterprise installations that prioritize reduced smoke emission characteristics. For teams building dense GPU clusters, storage fabrics, or leaf-spine networks, this cable supports cleaner cable paths and more consistent signal behavior than passive alternatives. Choose this model when the link budget, rack density, and operational reliability justify a premium interconnect. It is built for environments where every cable must earn its place: fast to deploy, easy to route, and suited to modern high-bandwidth infrastructure.
