  • ConnectX-5 EN controller enables advanced offloads
  • MCX516A-CCAT model supports 100 GbE connectivity

100GbE PCIe 3.0 x16 Adapter

The NVIDIA ConnectX-5 EN adapter card delivers 100GbE connectivity through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface. It is built for servers and workstations that require high-throughput wired networking. The card uses the MCX516A-CCAT part number for identification.

Suited for 100GbE deployments

This adapter suits administrators deploying 100GbE links in compatible PCIe 3.0 x16 slots. It is not for systems lacking a full-length x16 electrical connection or for networks operating at lower speeds without compatible transceivers. Buyers needing different port counts or form factors should consider other models.

Questions about this item

What PCIe slot width does the ConnectX-5 EN adapter need to run at 100 GbE?

The card uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, so a full-length x16 slot is required for full 100 GbE throughput.

Will this 100 GbE adapter negotiate down to 10 GbE on my existing switch?

Yes, the ConnectX-5 EN supports speed negotiation and will operate at 10 GbE when connected to a 10 GbE switch port.
