Microconnect MC-PCIE4.0X16-CONNECTX-6 - Network Interface Card

The MICROCONNECT MC-PCIE4.0X16-CONNECTX-6 is a 100GbE QSFP56 PCIe 4.0 x16 network card for PCs and servers. It connects via a PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot and is designed for high-bandwidth enterprise environments. The card uses fiber-optic cabling and supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Gbit/s to help reduce bottlenecks in storage and high-performance computing setups. It is a wired-only adapter and does not feature Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The card is powered by the Mellanox ConnectX-6 chipset, which handles hardware-offloaded traffic management for virtualization. A single QSFP56 optical port serves as the physical interface for connections to enterprise switches and routers. The card is compatible with Windows Server 2016 through 2025 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases from 7.6 to 9.7.
