100GbE PCIe 3.0 x16 Adapter

The NVIDIA ConnectX-5 EN adapter card delivers 100GbE connectivity through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface. It is built for servers and workstations that require high-throughput wired networking. The card uses the MCX516A-CCAT part number for identification.

Suited for 100GbE deployments

This adapter suits administrators deploying 100GbE links in compatible PCIe 3.0 x16 slots. It is not for systems lacking a full-length x16 electrical connection or for networks operating at lower speeds without compatible transceivers. Buyers needing different port counts or form factors should consider other models.
