Product Description
The NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx EN MCX623102AC-GDAT is a dual-port 50GbE standard-form-factor PCIe adapter card, delivering high-bandwidth connectivity through a PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface and dual SFP56 cages. It supports RoCE v2 RDMA for low-latency, kernel-bypass data movement, making it well suited to bandwidth-intensive compute and storage workloads. This SKU combines two hardware security capabilities: Secure Boot, which authenticates the adapter's firmware against a hardware root of trust on every boot, and inline crypto offload, which accelerates IPsec/TLS encryption and decryption at line rate without consuming host CPU cycles. Together these make the MCX623102AC-GDAT a strong fit for security-conscious enterprise and cloud deployments that need both verified firmware integrity and encrypted data-in-motion at 50 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. As a standard PCIe card rather than an OCP form factor, it installs in conventional server and workstation PCIe slots, and benefits from ConnectX-6 Dx's ASAP² virtual switching and NVMe-oF storage acceleration offloads for demanding data center use cases.
