MQM8700-HS2F – 200Gb/s HDR InfiniBand Managed Switch
The MQM8700-HS2F is a 1U managed InfiniBand switch from NVIDIA delivering 40 HDR ports at 200Gb/s each, aimed at HPC clusters, AI training fabrics, and high-density storage networks where low latency and high fabric throughput are critical. It suits system integrators and data center buyers standardizing on HDR InfiniBand backends. Note that HDR operation requires QSFP56 HDR cabling and compatible host channel adapters on all attached endpoints.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model / Part Number | MQM8700-HS2F (920-9B110-00FH-0MD) |
| Ports | 40 × HDR InfiniBand ports (200Gb/s per port) |
| Switching Capacity | Up to 16 Tb/s |
| Forwarding Rate | Over 8.3 billion packets per second (Bpps) |
| Latency | Sub-microsecond switching latency |
| Management | Unified fabric manager (UFM), CLI, SNMP, REST API |
| Power Supply | Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans |
| Form Factor | 1U rackmount |
| Cooling | Front-to-back airflow (optimized for data centers) |
| Interface Type | QSFP56 HDR |
Good to know
- Compatibility: endpoints must support HDR InfiniBand over QSFP56 to run at full 200Gb/s; the switch also fits into NVIDIA’s managed fabric ecosystem via UFM, so verify your fabric manager licensing and management tooling before deployment.
- Within the MQM8700 family, the HS2F variant is distinguished by its part number suffix; confirm airflow direction and power configuration match your rack layout, since front-to-back cooling must align with your data center’s hot/cold aisle design.
- Buying tip: request the exact part number (920-9B110-00FH-0MD) and confirm included accessories (power supplies, rails) when sourcing, as configurations can vary between listings.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
