About the MFS1S00-H090V
The NVIDIA Mellanox MFS1S00-H090V is a 90-meter QSFP56 active optical cable for 200Gb/s InfiniBand HDR systems. NVIDIA issued an End-of-Life notice for this variant in March 2022, making new-in-box stock increasingly scarce. Our inventory of 1,602 factory-sealed units represents one of the largest remaining pools of genuine OEM H090V cables available anywhere. Data centers running existing HDR infrastructure that require 90m runs for cross-hall or inter-building connections should secure their supply now.
Typical Use Case
The 90m length is specified for large-scale deployments where spine switches are located in a dedicated network core room separate from compute rows, or for inter-building InfiniBand links in campus HPC environments.
New In Box vs. Compatible — Why It Matters
NVIDIA Quantum HDR switches and ConnectX-6/7 adapters perform firmware-level cable authentication at link initialization. Genuine OEM cables like the MFS1S00-H090V pass all NVIDIA firmware checks without modification, ensuring full 200G performance and BER compliance. Third-party compatible cables can trigger firmware warnings and cause intermittent link drops under sustained load.
