NVIDIA/Mellanox MMS1W50-HM Compatible 200G FR4 QSFP56 4x50G PAM4 1310nm 2km SMF DOM LC Duplex InfiniBand HDR Optical Transceiver Module

The NVIDIA/Mellanox MMS1W50-HM compatible 200G FR4 QSFP56 optical transceiver is designed for high-speed 200G HDR InfiniBand interconnects in data centers, high-performance computing (HPC) environments, and AI infrastructure. Operating at a nominal wavelength of 1310nm, it supports transmission distances of up to 2km over single-mode fiber (SMF) and uses a duplex LC connector for convenient point-to-point optical connectivity.

Based on 4x50G PAM4 signaling, the module converts four high-speed electrical lanes into optical signals. Its four LAN-WDM optical wavelengths, located around the 1310nm region, are multiplexed for transmission over a single fiber and separated by the receiver. This wavelength-division multiplexing architecture enables 200G data transmission over a duplex single-mode fiber connection while maintaining the QSFP56 form factor.

Designed for compatible 200G HDR InfiniBand host interfaces, this transceiver supports high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects for demanding computing and networking workloads. Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) enables access to key operating parameters, helping network administrators monitor module status and support ongoing link diagnostics.

The MMS1W50-HM compatible transceiver is intended for deployment in supported NVIDIA/Mellanox InfiniBand platforms. Device compatibility should be verified against the specific switch or adapter model, firmware version, and host configuration before deployment.

What Is InfiniBand?

InfiniBand is a high-performance, switched-fabric interconnect technology widely used in high-performance computing, AI clusters, and enterprise data centers. It enables high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between servers, storage systems, and other network-connected devices. With its efficient data transfer capabilities and scalable architecture, InfiniBand is particularly well suited for workloads that require rapid communication between compute nodes, including scientific simulations, deep learning, and distributed AI training.

Questions & Answers

NVIDIA/Mellanox MMS1W50-HM Compatible 200G FR4 QSFP56: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What modulation and optical technology does the 200G QSFP56 FR4 transceiver use?

A: The 200G QSFP56 FR4 transceiver uses 4x50G PAM4 signaling, supporting four high-speed data lanes. On the optical side, it uses four LAN-WDM wavelengths around the 1310nm region, multiplexed onto a single fiber for transmission and demultiplexed at the receiving end. This enables 200G transmission over a duplex single-mode fiber link.

Q: Is this MMS1W50-HM compatible transceiver suitable for NVIDIA/Mellanox QM8700 and QM8790 switches?

A: This transceiver is designed as a compatible alternative for supported 200G HDR InfiniBand QSFP56 interfaces, including NVIDIA/Mellanox QM8700 and QM8790 switches. Compatibility should be confirmed against the specific switch configuration and firmware version. SFP Plaza can provide compatibility test information for the target device environment upon request.

Q: Can the 200G QSFP56 FR4 HDR optical module be used for both single-mode and multimode fiber links?

A: No. The 200G QSFP56 FR4 is designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission at a nominal wavelength of 1310nm, with a link distance of up to 2km. It uses a duplex LC connector and is not designed for multimode fiber (MMF) links.

Q: Can an InfiniBand optical module be connected directly to an Ethernet optical module?

A: Not necessarily. InfiniBand and Ethernet use different host protocols and link configurations. Even when two modules have similar optical specifications and connectors, this does not guarantee interoperability. For a reliable link, use transceivers designed for the same protocol and verify that both host devices support the required interface and configuration.

Q: Can a 200G QSFP56 FR4 HDR optical module operate in a 100G EDR QSFP28 port?

A: No, this 200G QSFP56 HDR transceiver is designed for a compatible 200G HDR QSFP56 host interface. A QSFP28 port designed for 100G EDR does not provide the required 200G HDR host interface. Although QSFP56 and QSFP28 modules belong to the same general form-factor family, physical fit alone does not guarantee electrical, protocol, or link compatibility.
