NVIDIA ConnectX-7 100GbE PCIe 5.0 x16
The NVIDIA ConnectX-7 is a dual-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet adapter built on a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. It uses QSFP112 cages for optical or direct-attach connectivity and ships without on-board cryptographic offload. This card targets data-centre operators and high-performance computing clusters that need line-rate 100 Gb/s networking.
Sustained 100 GbE throughput on dual ports
Under continuous load both ports maintain 100 Gb/s line rate without throttling, thanks to the PCIe 5.0 x16 host path and the ConnectX-7 ASIC’s pipeline architecture. The absent crypto engine removes encryption overhead, so packet processing latency stays deterministic for storage replication, distributed training or telemetry ingest workloads.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the ConnectX-7 100GbE card produce under continuous load?
The ConnectX-7 100GbE card uses a passive heatsink and relies on chassis airflow; sustained 100 Gb/s traffic keeps component temperatures within the thermal design limits specified for PCIe 5.0 x16 add-in cards.
What cabling and switch ports are required to run both QSFP112 ports at 100 Gb/s?
Each port needs a QSFP112 transceiver or direct-attach cable rated for 100 Gb/s and a matching 100 Gb/s switch port; the card presents two such cages on a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface.
