NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-6 MCX623102AE-GDAT

The NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx EN MCX623102AE-GDAT is a dual-port 50GbE standard-form-factor PCIe adapter card that adds inline hardware crypto offload to the ConnectX-6 Dx MCX623102 sub-family. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface with dual SFP56 cages for line-rate 50 Gigabit Ethernet per port, and RoCE v2 RDMA offload for low-latency, kernel-bypass data movement across compute and storage traffic. The onboard crypto offload engine accelerates IPsec/TLS encryption and decryption in hardware at line rate, removing that workload from the host CPU — a meaningful advantage for encrypted east-west traffic in multi-tenant clouds, telco NFV, and other security-sensitive high-bandwidth deployments. Installing in conventional server PCIe slots, the MCX623102AE-GDAT combines ConnectX-6 Dx's ASAP² virtual switching and NVMe-oF storage acceleration offloads with hardware encryption acceleration, making it a strong fit for organizations that need both 50GbE-class bandwidth and offloaded, line-rate data encryption.
