MFA7U40-H020, NVIDIA Mellanox NVIDIA AOC Splitter, 200(2x100)Gbps/OSFP to 2xQSFP56/20m

The Mellanox (NVIDIA Networking) MFA7U40-H020 is a high-performance active optical splitter cable designed for modern data center and cloud networking. This AOC connects one 200 Gb/s OSFP port to two 100 Gb/s QSFP56 ports, making it ideal for enterprise, hyperscale, and service provider environments that need flexible 200G-to-100G breakout connectivity. With a 20 meter reach and integrated transceivers on both ends, the MFA7U40-H020 simplifies deployment, reduces patch panel complexity, and helps keep power and cooling under control compared with separate optical modules and fiber jumpers. The round-to-flat jacket construction allows easy routing in high-density racks and overhead trays, even in constrained spaces common in Asian, European, African, and North American facilities. This Mellanox accessory is well suited for spine–leaf links, server aggregation, and storage interconnects where consistent 100 Gb/s per QSFP56 port throughput is required. As an active optical splitter cable, it offers predictable latency and stable optical performance, supporting reliable high-speed data transfer between 200 Gb/s OSFP switch ports and 100 Gb/s QSFP56 switch or adapter ports. Distributors benefit from a popular, easy-to-stock part number; small and midsize integrators can deploy it quickly without complex optical design; end users gain a clean, plug-and-play way to expand bandwidth while protecting investment in existing 100G infrastructure. For projects that must balance performance, density, and operational simplicity, the MFA7U40-H020 provides a practical and future-ready connectivity option.
