Mellanox MFS1S00-H020V Active Optical Cable 20 m QSFP56

When link distance starts to shape the design, this active optical cable gives you room to build without sacrificing throughput. The Mellanox MFS1S00-H020V supports up to 200 Gb/s VPI for InfiniBand HDR and 200GbE deployments, making it a practical fit for compute fabrics, storage networks, and GPU-heavy clusters that need stable high-bandwidth transport over longer runs. At 20 m, it extends placement options beyond what passive copper can comfortably support in many high-speed environments. The QSFP56 interface keeps the connection straightforward for compatible fabric hardware, while the active optical design helps maintain performance across the link. The LSZH jacket is well suited to enclosed data center spaces where reduced smoke and halogen content are preferred. This is a cable for teams that care about more than just port count. It helps preserve airflow, reduce cable mass, and keep routing clean in dense installations where every inch of tray space matters. For premium infrastructure builds, that combination translates into fewer compromises and a more disciplined physical layer.
