The NVIDIA Mellanox MFA1A00-E010 is a QSFP28 active optical cable ( AOC ) designed for 100 GbE connectivity. It features QSFP28 connectors on both ends and supports data transmission rates up to 100 Gbps over a fixed 10 m length. The integrated optical transceivers provide a single, factory-terminated assembly in a compact QSFP28 form factor.

This cable is intended for high-bandwidth links between switches, routers, and servers equipped with QSFP28 ports. The active optical design reduces signal loss over distance compared to passive copper cables while maintaining low weight and small bend radius. It operates as a direct-attach solution with no separate transceiver modules required, drawing power from the host ports. Suitable for short- to mid-range interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks supporting 100 GbE standards.
