[Controller] With Mellanox CX-4 chipset, the 100G NIC supporting IBTA RDMA and RoCE delivers low-latency and high performance over Band and Ethernet networks. Leveraging DCB capabilities as well as CX4 advanced congestion control hardware mechanisms, RoCE provides efficient low-latency RDMA services over Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
^^ [Data Rate] Ethernet: 100GbE/ 50GbE / 40GbE / 25GbE / 10GbE / 1GbE.
EDR IB: SDR/DDR/QDR/FDR/EDR, each lane of a 4X port runs a bit rate of 25.78125G b/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting in an effective bandwidth of 100Gb/s.
(Default mode: Ethernet) ^^ [Connector Type] Dual-port QSFP28. Connected with 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100Gb/s Direct Attach Copper cables (DACs), Copper Splitter cables, Active Optical Cables (AOCs) and Transceivers.
PCI Express Connectors: PCIe Gen 3.0 ( 8.0GT /s) x16. ^^ [ Technical Support] The 100Gb CX-4 network card supports RDMA and RoCE, QoS, Hardware-based I/O Virtualization, Storage Acceleration, NVMe, SR-IOV, PXE, DPDK, IB, iSCSI, Jumbo Frames. ^^ [Supporting OS] Windows 10/11; Windows Server 2016/2019/2022; Deepin 15.11 /20/ 20.6 / 20.9; VMware ESXi 6.7; RHEL/CentOS 7.6 / 7.9 / 8.2 / 8.3; FreeBSD; Ubuntu; SUSE 12.5 / 15.4; FreeBSD 13.2; Mikrotik, OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED), OpenFabrics Windows Distribution (WinOF-2) ect. ^^ Low and full height bracket (assembled) are included for wide and different applications such as pc gaming, desktops, workstations, enterprise data centers and high-performance computing environments and mini-tower servers.
^^ Kindly Remind: If you experience link issue or system compatibility issue during use, please scan the code on the label at the back of this NIC to perform a firmware update. If the NICs do not work @ 100GBE, please make sure other connected devices be done with data rate 100GBE such as network transceivers or switch or router ect.
