Mellanox Technologies MNPH29D-XTRProduct ConnectX-2 EN 10Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

SKU CH-YFJW-A9G29 MPN MNPH29D-XTRProduct

A 10Gigabit Ethernet plug-in card with a PCI Express x16 host interface and SFP+ expansion slot, RoHS-6 compliant

  • 10GbE throughput for demanding workloads via PCIe x16 host interface
  • Low-latency connectivity with stateless offloads for converged fabrics
  • Compact plug-in card measuring .3" high and .5" wide fits dense servers
  • SFP+ expansion slot enables flexible 10GBase-CX4 cabling choices
  • RoHS-6 compliant design meets environmental standards for data-centre deployment

ConnectX-2 EN 10Gigabit Adapter

The Mellanox ConnectX-2 EN is a 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter built on a PCI Express x16 host interface. It uses an SFP+ expansion slot and operates with 10GBase-CX4 network technology. The plug-in card form factor measures .3" in height and .5" in width. It is RoHS-6 certified and designed for PC installation.

High-performance computing and data-center use

This adapter suits environments that require high-bandwidth 10GigE connectivity with stateless offloads for converged fabrics. It fits High-Performance Computing clusters, enterprise data centres and embedded deployments. Buyers who need a different physical interface or a lower-speed network link should consider other options.

PCIe x16 slot and SFP+ cabling

Installation requires an available PCI Express x16 slot and compatible SFP+ modules or direct-attach cables for the CX4 medium. The low-profile dimensions help the card fit in dense chassis layouts. Stateless offload engines free host CPU cycles for application workloads instead of packet processing.

Questions about this item

What host interface does the ConnectX-2 EN 10Gigabit Ethernet Adapter require in the system?

The adapter plugs into a PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard.

Can the SFP+ expansion slot use 10GBase-CX4 copper cables alongside older SFP modules?

The card’s network technology is 10GBase-CX4, so only CX4 cables are supported in the SFP+ slot.

How can I verify the adapter is operating at 10 Gbps after installation?

Check the link speed in the OS network settings or switch port status; it should report 10 Gbps.
