Description de produit
Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN MCX512A-ACAT 25GbE SFP28 RDMA Smart NIC
Dual-Port 25GbE SFP28 | PCIe 3.0 x8 | Low-Profile | RDMA & RoCE | Smart NIC for Cloud, Storage & Telco
Product Overview
The Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN MCX512A-ACAT is a dual-port 25GbE Ethernet adapter card engineered for Web 2.0, cloud data centers, software-defined storage, and telecommunication infrastructure. Built on the intelligent ConnectX-5 core, this PCIe 3.0 x8 low-profile card delivers high throughput (up to 100Gb/s aggregate), sub-microsecond latency, and advanced hardware offload capabilities that minimize CPU overhead while accelerating virtual switching, NVMe over Fabric, and overlay network processing.
As part of the ConnectX-5 EN series, the MCX512A-ACAT supports SFP28 interfaces, backward compatibility with 10GbE and 1GbE, and enables RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) for efficient remote direct memory access. With ASAP² (Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing) technology, it offloads Open vSwitch (OvS) data-plane tasks, freeing server resources for application workloads.
Key Features
- High Performance: Up to 25GbE per port, 200 million messages per second, 750ns latency, hardware-based reliable transport
- Smart Offloads: OvS/vRouter offload (ASAP²), NVMe-oF target offload, T10-DIF Signature Handover, RoCE for overlay networks
- I/O & Virtualization: SR-IOV (up to 512 VFs), embedded PCIe switch with up to 8 bifurcations
- Overlay & Tunneling: Hardware encapsulation/decapsulation for VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE, MPLS, NSH
- Form Factor & Management: Low-profile PCIe 3.0 x8, NC-SI over MCTP, PLDM monitoring & firmware update, UEFI/PXE remote boot

Buyer Checklist
- Confirm server has an available PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 slot (physical)
- Verify OS/driver support (OFED or inbox driver)
- Check SFP28 transceiver compatibility
- Plan for airflow: low-profile card fits 1U/2U servers
- For NVMe-oF target offload, review target mode driver support with your OS version
