Mellanox MMA1B00-C100D 40GbE QSFP+ SR4 Optical Transceiver
The Mellanox MMA1B00-C100D is a high-performance, 40GbE QSFP+ SR4
optical transceiver designed for reliable and efficient data
transmission in high-speed network environments. It supports
distances up to 150 meters over OM4 multi-mode fiber optic cable
and features digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM), low power
consumption, and hot-pluggability. Ideal for data centers,
enterprise networks, and high-performance computing applications.
Key Features:
- 40GbE Ethernet (4x10GbE) over multi-mode fiber optic cable
- Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance
tracking
- Hot-pluggable QSFP+ form factor
- Low power consumption: 1.3W typical
- Compliant with IEEE 802.3ba, SFF-8436, and RoHS
Technology
The transceiver utilizes VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting
Laser) technology operating at 850nm wavelength. It complies with
industry standards including IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4, SFF-8436,
and SFF-8636 for I²C management. The device supports programmable
Tx equalization and Rx output control for optimized signal
integrity.
Working Principle
The MMA1B00-C100D converts electrical signals into optical signals
using four independent 10.3125 Gb/s channels. These signals are
transmitted over a parallel multi-mode fiber optic cable via an MPO
connector. The receiver side converts the optical signals back to
electrical data, ensuring high-speed, low-latency communication
with minimal bit error rate (BER < 1E-15).
Applications
- Data center interconnects and spine-leaf architectures
- High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
- Enterprise network aggregation
- Cloud infrastructure and server farms
- Storage area networks (SANs)
