ConnectX-5 VPI dual-port QSFP28 adapter
The Mellanox MCX556A-ECAT is a new ConnectX-5 VPI adapter card that delivers 100 Gbps over two QSFP28 ports. It installs in a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and uses a tall bracket. The card supports EDR InfiniBand at 100 Gb/s and 100 Gigabit Ethernet for wired connectivity.
Suited for high-performance clusters
This adapter suits administrators building EDR InfiniBand or 100 GbE clusters who need dual-port density in a single x16 slot. It is not for systems that lack a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot or for networks that operate at lower Ethernet speeds. Buyers needing a single-port or low-profile form factor should consider other models.
Dual-port QSFP28 at 100 Gbps over PCIe 3.0 x16
The decisive specification is the dual-port QSFP28 interface running at 100 Gbps on a PCIe 3.0 x16 bus. This combination determines whether the card matches the slot width, cable type and throughput required by the target fabric. Verify slot availability and cable compatibility before purchase.

Ερωτήσεις για αυτό το προϊόν
Should I pick the dual-port QSFP28 version or a single-port alternative?
This model provides two QSFP28 ports for 100 GbE and EDR InfiniBand, giving link redundancy or doubled aggregate bandwidth in a single PCIe slot.
What does the 100 Gbps rate deliver inside a server?
Each port runs at 100 Gb/s line rate for Ethernet or InfiniBand, so the adapter can sustain 100 Gb/s per port when the host and cabling support it.
How does the PCIe 3.0 x16 interface affect throughput?
The card installs in a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and uses that link to move data between the two 100 Gb/s ports and the host system.
