Dual-port 100GbE QSFP56 adapter

The NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx MCX623106AN-CDAT is a PCIe 4.0 x16 network card that delivers two 100Gbps ports over optical fibre. It targets data-centre servers and high-performance workstations that need dense, low-latency connectivity in a single expansion slot.

Sustained 100Gbps throughput over fibre

Optical 100GBase-X links maintain the full 100Gbps rate across longer runs without the signal degradation seen on copper at this speed. Dual QSFP56 ports share the x16 lane budget, so each port can run at line rate continuously under heavy east-west traffic or storage replication workloads.

Replaces dual single-port 100GbE cards

Consolidating two ports into one tall-bracket card frees a second PCIe slot and reduces cabling complexity. The upgrade makes sense when a server chassis has limited x16 slots or when a rack layout benefits from fewer transceiver modules and fibre patch cords.

Questions about this item

Does the ConnectX-6 Dx card run hot or draw much power when it sustains 100 Gbps traffic all day?

The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface provides ample headroom for 100 Gbps line-rate traffic, and the tall-bracket design allows standard server airflow to keep the adapter within its thermal envelope.

Which cables or transceivers must I already have to use the dual QSFP56 ports?

Each port accepts a QSFP56 transceiver or direct-attach cable rated for 100GBase-X optical fiber; two matching modules are required to activate both links.

Will this adapter work in an older server that only has PCIe 3.0 slots?

The card is a PCIe 4.0 x16 device; it will negotiate down to PCIe 3.0 x16 if installed in a 3.0 slot, reducing maximum throughput to the 3.0 lane limit.
