Dual-port SFP28 10GbE Ethernet adapter card — delivering low latency, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), and hardware-based virtualization offloads. Ideal for cloud, Web 2.0, database, and storage platforms requiring cost-effective 10GbE connectivity with advanced acceleration.
The NVIDIA ConnectX-4 Lx EN MCX4121A-XCAT is a dual-port 10GbE Ethernet adapter card designed for data centers that demand high throughput, sub-microsecond latency, and efficient server utilization. Built on the proven ConnectX-4 Lx architecture, this adapter supports 10GbE and 1GbE speeds, making it a flexible solution for enterprise and cloud environments. It offloads transport operations, overlay network encapsulation (VXLAN, NVGRE), and provides hardware-based I/O virtualization (SR-IOV). The MCX4121A-XCAT includes RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for low-latency memory access, PeerDirect for GPU communication acceleration, and comprehensive management interfaces including NC-SI for BMC integration.
The ConnectX-4 Lx EN ASIC delivers 75 million packets per second message rate and sub-microsecond latency. Key innovations include:
The MCX4121A-XCAT is compatible with a wide range of operating systems: RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu, Windows Server, FreeBSD, VMware ESXi, and Citrix XenServer. It supports standard 10GbE SFP+ optics, passive DAC cables up to 5m, and active optical cables. The adapter integrates seamlessly with NVIDIA Spectrum switches and any standards-based 10GbE/25GbE infrastructure. Software support includes OFED (OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution) and WinOF-2 for Windows.
