MFA7U40-H015, Mellanox NVIDIA AOC Splitter, 200(2x100)Gbps/OSFP to 2xQSFP56/15m

The Mellanox MFA7U40-H015 is a high-performance active optical splitter cable designed for modern 200G data center and enterprise network environments. This accessory connects one 200G OSFP port to two 100G QSFP56 ports, enabling an easy 200G to dual 100G breakout without changing your existing switch or server hardware. With a maximum aggregated data rate of 200 Gb/s, the MFA7U40-H015 is well suited for spine–leaf fabrics, storage interconnects, and GPU or HPC clusters in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. Integrators and distributors can deploy this cable to simplify high-density cabling while keeping power and cooling needs under control.

This Mellanox active optical splitter cable uses integrated multimode fiber within a factory-terminated AOC assembly, which reduces signal loss compared with long copper cables and helps maintain link stability over its 15 m length. The OSFP head with finned design supports 200G transmission, while the two flat QSFP56 branches each deliver up to 100 Gb/s, using 50 Gb/s PAM4 per lane as defined for QSFP56 and OSFP-class interfaces. This allows network operators to run high-throughput links on top-of-rack, end-of-row, and aggregation switches with predictable performance.

For distributors and small to mid-size system integrators, the MFA7U40-H015 offers a consistent, plug-and-play option that is compatible with NVIDIA/Mellanox 200G OSFP and 100G QSFP56 networking ports (model-dependent). There is no need to tune optics or handle separate transceivers and patch cords, which reduces deployment time and potential points of failure. End users benefit from cleaner cable management, easier troubleshooting, and straightforward scaling from 100G to 200G infrastructures. The 15 m reach fits typical rack-to-rack layouts in many regional data centers, colocation sites, and enterprise facilities, supporting both cloud services and private IT networks.
