The MCX512A-ACUT Mellanox Connectx-5 EN Network Interface Card is a high-performance dual-port SFP28 card designed to provide high-speed data transfer rates over Ethernet networks. This card is a perfect solution for modern data centers that require high-speed connectivity between servers, storage devices, and networking equipment. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the features and benefits of the MCX512A-ACUT card.
Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Network Interface CardThe Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Network Interface Card is a high-performance Ethernet adapter that delivers up to 100 Gb/s of throughput per port. This card is designed to support a range of network protocols, including Ethernet, InfiniBand, and RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet). It also supports virtualization technologies, such as SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), which allows multiple virtual machines to share a single physical network interface card.
The MCX512A-ACUT is a dual-port SFP28 card, which means it can support up to two SFP28 transceivers. SFP28 transceivers are designed to support 25 Gb/s data rates over a single lane of fiber optic cable. This makes them ideal for high-speed data center applications that require low latency and high bandwidth.
PCI Express 3.0 x8The MCX512A-ACUT card is designed to fit into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot on a server or storage device. PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that provides a low-latency, high-bandwidth interface between a computer and its peripherals. The x8 designation refers to the number of data lanes that the card uses. A PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot can provide up to 64 Gb/s of bandwidth, which is more than enough to support the high-speed data transfer rates of the MCX512A-ACUT card.
Features and BenefitsThe MCX512A-ACUT card provides a range of features and benefits that make it an ideal solution for modern data centers. These include:
High-Performance Ethernet Connectivity: The MCX512A-ACUT card provides high-speed Ethernet connectivity with up to 100 Gb/s of throughput per port. This makes it ideal for high-performance computing, cloud computing, and other data center applications that require low latency and high bandwidth.
Dual-Port SFP28 Design: The dual-port SFP28 design of the MCX512A-ACUT card allows it to support up to two SFP28 transceivers. This provides flexibility in network design and allows for easy expansion as network requirements change.
PCI Express 3.0 x8 Interface: The MCX512A-ACUT card is designed to fit into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot on a server or storage device. This provides high-bandwidth connectivity and low latency for data transfer.
Virtualization Support: The MCX512A-ACUT card supports virtualization technologies, such as SR-IOV, which allows multiple virtual machines to share a single physical network interface card. This improves network efficiency and reduces costs.
RoCE Support: The MCX512A-ACUT card supports RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), which is a network protocol that allows data to be transferred directly from memory to memory without involving the CPU. This reduces latency and improves network efficiency.
