This is an HPE Mellanox ConnectX-5 Dual-Port 100GbE Network Adapter Card, supporting both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols, in a High-Profile form factor (P/N: 878579-001, CX556A, 872726-B21, 872726-H21, 877690-001, PCB001836_00). Designed for the most demanding high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and enterprise data center environments, this adapter delivers unparalleled network throughput and ultra-low latency.

Powered by the cutting-edge Mellanox ConnectX-5 controller, this dual-port adapter provides incredible 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connectivity. Its unique capability to operate as either a 100Gb InfiniBand or 100Gb Ethernet adapter offers maximum flexibility, allowing seamless integration into diverse network fabrics. The high-profile bracket makes it suitable for standard server chassis (often 2U and larger). It leverages the PCIe 3.0 x16 or PCIe 4.0 x16 interface (depending on server slot capability) for maximum bandwidth to the host. The ConnectX-5 supports advanced features like RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF), hardware offloads for virtualization and storage, and adaptive routing, making it an indispensable component for accelerating data-intensive workloads, improving server efficiency, and reducing overall TCO.
