PCI Express 3.0 x16 plug-in card delivering 56 Gigabit Ethernet for PC or Unix systems

  • 56 Gigabit Ethernet throughput via PCI Express 3.0 x16 link
  • ConnectX-4 VPI adapter handles Ethernet and InfiniBand traffic
  • Plug-in card installs directly into a standard PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
  • Compatible with PC and Unix operating systems

PCI Express 3.0 x16 56 Gigabit adapter

This plug-in network card connects a PC or Unix system to a 56 Gigabit Ethernet link through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot. It is built for administrators who need high-throughput connectivity on compatible hardware.

Bandwidth limited to PCIe 3.0 x16 and 56 GbE

The interface caps total throughput at the PCI Express 3.0 x16 lane budget and the 56 Gigabit Ethernet line rate. Systems without a matching slot or networks running at lower speeds cannot use the full capability of the adapter.

Questions about this item

Does this card need a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot or will it run in a smaller one?

The adapter uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface, so it requires a full x16 slot to deliver the rated 56 Gigabit Ethernet throughput.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 56 Gigabit Ethernet rating?

The 56 Gigabit Ethernet figure is the line-rate maximum; actual throughput depends on CPU, drivers and network conditions but the card is designed to sustain near-line speed.
