The Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx MCX623106AC-CDAT is a dual-port 100GbE Ethernet network adapter designed for server and data-center environments, including high-performance computing (HPC), AI infrastructure, cloud networking, distributed storage, enterprise networking, and other high-bandwidth applications.

The adapter uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface and requires an appropriate PCIe x16 slot with sufficient system power, cooling, airflow, and physical clearance. NVIDIA specifies compatibility with PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.0, and PCIe 1.1 host interfaces, subject to platform capabilities.

The MCX623106AC-CDAT provides two QSFP56 Ethernet ports, with each port supporting Ethernet data rates up to 100Gb/s. NVIDIA specifies supported Ethernet rates of 1, 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100Gb/s, depending on the network configuration and connected infrastructure.

This is a ConnectX-6 Dx EN Ethernet adapter, not a VPI adapter. The MCX623106AC-CDAT is designed for Ethernet networking and does not support InfiniBand.

The adapter uses a Half-Height Half-Length (HHHL) form factor measuring approximately 5.59 × 2.71 inches (142 × 68.90 mm) and uses a tall bracket. Verify that the host chassis provides sufficient expansion-slot clearance for the adapter and its connectors.

For networking connectivity, the adapter uses QSFP56 Ethernet interfaces and supports copper and optical connections. The appropriate cable, transceiver, or optical module depends on the desired Ethernet speed, switch compatibility, transmission distance, and physical medium.

The adapter is designed primarily for server and data-center environments. Desktop and workstation compatibility should not be assumed, particularly where the system cannot provide the required PCIe connectivity, power delivery, cooling, airflow, physical clearance, firmware, or driver support.

The MCX623106AC-CDAT is specified with Crypto Enabled and Secure Boot Enabled.

Before purchasing, verify that the host system provides a compatible PCIe x16 slot, adequate power and airflow, sufficient physical clearance for the tall-bracket adapter, compatible NVIDIA drivers, and appropriate QSFP56 Ethernet infrastructure.
