Frequently Asked Questions
What is an active optical cable and why choose it for data centers?
An active optical cable integrates signal conditioning electronics into the connector housing, enabling longer reaches and higher data rates than passive copper alternatives. The ENET MFS1S90 uses this technology to deliver 200Gb/s performance with reduced power consumption and heat generation—critical advantages in dense data center environments.
Is the ENET MFS1S90 compatible with my InfiniBand HDR infrastructure?
Yes. The MFS1S90-H003E-ENC is InfiniBand HDR certified and features QSFP56 connectors that integrate seamlessly with HDR-capable switches, adapters, and host channel adapters. Verify your endpoint devices support QSFP56 and InfiniBand HDR protocols before deployment.
What fiber types does this QSFP56 cable support?
The MFS1S90 supports both OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber, providing flexibility for existing infrastructure. OM4 fiber delivers optimal performance for this 200Gb/s cable and is recommended for new deployments.
Can I use this 3-meter active optical cable for longer distances?
The 3-meter length is optimized for short-reach data center interconnects within racks and between adjacent cabinets. For longer distances, consult ENET's extended-reach AOC offerings or consider alternative connectivity solutions designed for campus-scale deployments.
