Nvidia compatible 980-9I13V-00E020 Description
EdgeOptic's 980-9I13V-00E020 compatible is a Nvidia-coded 20m version of the EdgeOptic 100G-AOC-QSFP multi-vendor 100G QSFP28 active optical cable. It provides a point-to-point QSFP28-to-QSFP28 link for InfiniBand EDR, with the optical fiber pre-terminated at both ends for 20m over OM3 multimode fiber. That suits high-density data center and AI/HPC fabric links where a sealed, lightweight optical run is preferred over copper or separate transceivers and patch fiber.
The cable runs at 850nm using VCSEL transmitters and PIN photodiode receivers, supporting 100G Ethernet (103.125 Gbps) and InfiniBand EDR (100 Gbps) across data rates from 96.97 to 112.2 Gbps. Integrated DDM/DOM reports optical power, module temperature, bias current, and supply voltage through the QSFP28 MSA (SFF-8636 and SFF-8665) management interface. It draws +3.3V at up to 3.5W and operates from 0 to 70°C. The cable advertises host-side FEC capability through its QSFP28 management interface; configure FEC on the switch port per your platform's requirements.
EdgeOptic codes the 980-9I13V-00E020 with Nvidia-recognized EEPROM so it is identified correctly on Nvidia switching and fabric hardware. Made to order with a two-week lead time. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms and a lifetime warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 980-9I13V-00E020 a standard NVIDIA part number?
Yes. 980-9I13V-00E020 is an NVIDIA ordering code for a 20m 100G QSFP28 active optical cable in the MFA1A00 family, sold for InfiniBand EDR. EdgeOptic's compatible matches that 100G QSFP28 AOC specification; cross-reference the code against your NVIDIA hardware list to confirm the exact part for your order.
Does the 980-9I13V-00E020 work on NVIDIA or Mellanox EDR InfiniBand switches?
Yes. The 980-9I13V-00E020 is a 100G QSFP28 active optical cable rated for InfiniBand EDR (100 Gbps), so it links up on EDR fabric ports as well as 100G Ethernet ports. Confirm 100G QSFP28 AOC support for your specific switch model in its compatibility list.
