NVIDIA MFS1S50-H005V

Overview

The NVIDIA MFS1S50-H005V is an active optical splitter cable that converts a single 200Gb/s HDR InfiniBand connection into two separate 100Gb/s HDR100 links. It uses advanced 4-channel 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation to maintain high-speed data transfer while efficiently splitting the signal. Designed for data centers and high-performance computing environments, this cable supports hot-pluggable operation and offers an active optical reach of up to 30 meters, making it suitable for medium-range connections without compromising reliability or speed.

Key features

• Splits a 200Gb/s HDR InfiniBand link into two 100Gb/s HDR100 connections, optimizing port usage in complex network setups
• Employs 4-channel 50Gb/s PAM4 modulation to ensure consistent high-speed data transfer
• Equipped with QSFP56 connectors compliant with SFF-8665 for broad compatibility with networking equipment
• Supports programmable receiver output amplitude and pre-emphasis for fine-tuning signal quality
• Managed via an I2C interface compliant with SFF-8636, allowing easy monitoring and control
• Hot-pluggable design enables installation or replacement without system downtime
• Maintains a bit error rate below 1E-15 when used with Mellanox systems, ensuring data integrity
• Consumes a typical power of 4.35W at the 200G end, balancing performance with energy efficiency
• Complies with RoHS standards, reflecting environmental responsibility

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
