NVIDIA ConnectX-6 VPI Network Adapter Card

The NVIDIA MCX653105A-ECAT-SP is a single-port network adapter card built for servers that handle the heaviest data streams in modern data centers. Using the ConnectX-6 VPI architecture, it runs on either HDR100 EDR InfiniBand or 100 Gigabit Ethernet, letting administrators standardize on one card while supporting both fabric types.

With a peak throughput of 200 Gb per second, latency that stays below 600 nanoseconds, and the ability to process up to 215 million messages each second, the card keeps compute nodes, storage arrays, and AI accelerators fed with data even during peak demand. The adapter connects through PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 4.0, so it drops into a broad range of servers without the need for special risers.

Security features such as on-board block-level encryption with FIPS capability help protect data in motion, an important safeguard for multi-tenant clouds or regulated industries. Compliance with RoHS guidelines also makes the card a responsible choice for organizations that track environmental standards.

Whether you are building a high-performance computing cluster, fine-tuning a real-time analytics platform, or consolidating storage over NVMe-over-Fabrics, the ConnectX-6 VPI adapter delivers the speed and reliability needed to keep workloads moving.
