NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN MCX515A-CCAT: 100GbE Single-Port Ethernet Adapter Card

Product Overview

The NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN MCX515A-CCAT is a high-performance single-port Ethernet network card designed to deliver 100Gb/s connectivity for demanding enterprise and data center environments. This intelligent network adapter combines exceptional bandwidth with advanced hardware offload capabilities, providing optimal performance for cloud computing, storage systems, and telecommunications applications. With support for multiple Ethernet speeds and comprehensive virtualization features, this NIC card offers a future-proof solution for modern network infrastructure requirements.

Key Characteristics

  • Single QSFP28 port supporting 100/50/40/25/10/1 GbE speeds
  • PCI Express 3.0 x16 host interface with backward compatibility
  • Hardware offloads for overlay networks including VXLAN, NVGRE, and GENEVE
  • RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) support for low-latency applications
  • SR-IOV virtualization with up to 512 virtual functions

Advanced Technologies

This network adapter incorporates several innovative technologies that enhance performance and efficiency:

  • ASAP² Technology: Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing for vSwitch/vRouter offloading
  • RoCE v2: RDMA over Converged Ethernet for low-latency data transfer
  • Hardware Offload Engines: Dedicated processors for overlay network encapsulation/decapsulation
  • T10-DIF Signature Handover: Hardware-assisted data integrity verification
  • Embedded PCIe Switch: Enables advanced host chaining configurations

Operational Framework

The ConnectX-5 EN network card operates through an advanced architecture that offloads network processing tasks from the host CPU. The adapter features dedicated hardware engines for protocol processing, traffic management, and virtualization functions. For overlay networks, the NIC card performs encapsulation and decapsulation of VXLAN, NVGRE, and GENEVE packets at line rate, maintaining performance while enabling network scalability. The RoCE implementation leverages data center bridging capabilities to provide low-latency RDMA services over standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Application Environments
