Description

The NVIDIA 980-9I11Z-00H005 is a 5-meter active optical splitter cable designed for InfiniBand HDR networks, connecting 400Gb/s OSFP ports to dual 200Gb/s QSFP56 ports. This AOC splitter enables high-density data center interconnects by splitting a single 400G link into two independent 200G HDR links, ideal for connecting NDR switches to legacy HDR infrastructure. Operating at 850nm wavelength with PAM4 modulation, it delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity for HPC clusters, AI training environments, and high-performance storage networks.

Features

Active optical technology eliminates signal integrity issues over 5-meter distance
- Supports InfiniBand HDR protocol at full 200Gb/s per QSFP56 port
- PAM4 modulation enables 50Gb/s per lane for maximum bandwidth efficiency
- Integrated VCSEL transceivers at 850nm wavelength for multimode fiber optic transmission
- Low power consumption with OSFP ≤8W and QSFP56 ≤4W per port
- Hot-pluggable design for live system maintenance without downtime
- Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for proactive cable health monitoring
- CMIS 4.0 management interface for advanced monitoring and control
- Forward Error Correction (FEC) support with Post-FEC BER of 1E-12
- RoHS compliant for environmental sustainability
- Flexible 30mm minimum bend radius for easier cable management
- Operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C for data center environments
- Compatible with NVIDIA Quantum switches and ConnectX adapter cards
- Enables seamless migration from HDR to NDR InfiniBand architectures

FAQs

Q: What is the primary use case for this AOC splitter cable?
A: This cable is designed to connect NDR switches with OSFP cages to legacy HDR switches or host channel adapters with QSFP56 cages, enabling migration paths in InfiniBand networks while maintaining backward compatibility with HDR infrastructure.

Q: Is this cable compatible with Ethernet applications?
A: While primarily designed for InfiniBand HDR networks, this cable can be used in NVIDIA Ethernet systems that support the same form factors and data rates. However, it is optimized for InfiniBand protocol operation at 400Gb/s to 2x 200Gb/s.

Q: What NVIDIA hardware is this cable compatible with?
A: This cable is compatible with NVIDIA Quantum switches (QM9700/9790 series), ConnectX-6 and ConnectX-7 adapter cards, and other InfiniBand HDR-capable devices with OSFP and QSFP56 ports.

Q: What is the difference between finned top and flat top connectors?
A: The OSFP end features a finned top design for enhanced heat dissipation in high-power applications, while the two QSFP56 ends have flat top connectors. This mixed design accommodates different thermal requirements across the cable assembly.

Q: Does this cable require external power or special configuration?
A: No, this is an active optical cable with integrated transceivers at both ends. It is plug-and-play and draws power directly from the host ports. Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) is supported for real-time cable health monitoring.
