Product Description
Dual-port 200Gb/s connectivity with aggregate 400Gb/s bandwidth, PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 interface, and low-profile form factor
Ports: 2x QSFP56
Aggregate Bandwidth: 400Gb/s
Interface: PCIe Gen 4.0 x16
Form Factor: Low-Profile Stand-Up
The NVIDIA MCX653106A-HDAT ConnectX-6 InfiniBand smart adapter delivers dual-port 200Gb/s connectivity with 400Gb/s aggregate bandwidth. Featuring QSFP56 ports and PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 host interface, this low-profile card provides ultra-low latency, high message rate (215 million messages/sec), and advanced hardware offloads for HPC, AI, and enterprise data center workloads.
Built on the NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand platform, ConnectX-6 integrates In-Network Computing engines, RDMA with end-to-end flow control, and block-level XTS-AES encryption. The adapter supports both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols for flexible deployment across compute and storage infrastructures.
- Dual-port 200Gb/s (400Gb/s aggregate bandwidth)
- Up to 215 million messages per second
- Ultra-low latency performance
- Block-level XTS-AES encryption (256/512-bit key)
- FIPS compliant security
- PCIe Gen 4.0 and Gen 3.0 compatible
- In-Network Compute acceleration engines
- RDMA, send/receive semantics
- Hardware-based congestion control
- NVMe-of target and initiator offloads
- RoHS compliant, ODCC compatible
- Supports both 50G SerDes (PAM4) and 25G SerDes (NRZ)
ConnectX-6 offloads collective operations and MPI tag matching to the network, freeing CPU cycles for computation. Combined with NVIDIA PeerDirect RDMA (GPUDirect), it enables direct GPU-to-GPU communication for AI and machine learning workloads.
Hardware offload of IEEE AES-XTS encryption/decryption saves latency and CPU utilization, with dedicated encryption keys for multi-tenant protection.
Target and initiator offloads optimize NVMe over Fabrics, enhancing CPU utilization and scalability for storage environments.
Protocol Support: InfiniBand (200/100/50/40/25/10Gb/s) and Ethernet (200/100/50/40/25/10/1Gb/s)
- High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
- AI and machine learning training infrastructure
- Hyperscale cloud and enterprise data centers
- NVMe-of storage systems
- Virtualized networks including NFV
- x86, Power, Arm, GPU, and FPGA-based platforms
- Host chaining for economical rack design
