Mellanox ConnectX-5 MCX512A-ACAT Dual-Port 25GbE Network Interface Card

The Mellanox ConnectX-5 MCX512A-ACAT is a high-performance dual-port 25GbE network card designed for data-intensive environments. Supporting PCIe 3.0 x8 and flexible Ethernet speeds (1/10/25 GbE), this NIC card delivers ultra-low latency (750ns), advanced RDMA, NVMe over Fabrics offload, and hardware-accelerated virtualization. Ideal for cloud, storage, and telco applications, it maximizes throughput while minimizing CPU overhead.

Key Features

  • Dual-port SFP28 connectivity supporting 1/10/25GbE speeds
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface with UEFI boot support
  • RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) for low-latency communication
  • Hardware offload for NVMe over Fabrics, OVS, VXLAN, and Geneve
  • SR-IOV support with up to 512 virtual functions

Core Technologies

The ConnectX-5 network card leverages cutting-edge technologies including ASAP² for accelerated packet processing, RoCE v2 for efficient RDMA, and PCIe Atomic Operations. It supports T10-DIF for end-to-end data integrity and features an embedded PCIe switch for multi-host configurations.

How It Works

The NIC card offloads network, storage, and virtualization processing from the host CPU. Using hardware-based encapsulation/decapsulation for overlay networks and match-action flow tables, it processes traffic at line rate. RDMA capabilities enable direct memory access between systems or between GPU and storage, reducing latency and CPU usage.

Applications

  • Cloud Data Centers: Virtualized infrastructure, NFV, and SDN
  • High-Performance Storage: NVMe over Fabrics, iSER, SMB Direct
  • Telecommunications: 5G infrastructure, vRAN, low-latency routing
  • Artificial Intelligence: GPU-direct communication, distributed training
