Description
Mellanox MCX556A-ECAT Network Adapter
The Mellanox MC556-A-ECAT is a member of the ConnectX-5 Ethernet Adapter Cards family. This network interface card is a high-performance device designed for Ethernet and InfiniBand networks. It has a single QSFP28 port that supports both copper and optical connections. The Mellanox MC556A-ECAT provides support for a wide range of protocols and data rates, and it is compatible with PCIe Gen3 with 16 lanes. The device has a maximum power consumption of 25W and supports InfiniBand speeds of up to 200 Gb/s. It also comes with a 1-year warranty.
Quick Specs:
- 2x QSFP28
- 1/10/25/40/50/100 Gb/s data rate
- 16x PCIe Gen 3.0
- Max Speed: EDR and 100GbE

Specifications
| Specifications | MCX556A-ECAT |
| Physical | |
| Size | Size: 2.71 in. x 5.6 in. (68.90mm x 142.24 mm) – low profile |
| Connector | Dual QSFP28 InfiniBand and Ethernet (copper and optical) |
| Protocol Support | |
| InfiniBand | IBTA v1.3 (The ConnectX-5 adapters supplement the IBTA auto-negotiation specification to get better bit error rates and longer cable reaches. This supplemental feature only initiates when connected to another NVIDIA InfiniBand product.) |
| Auto-Negotiation | 1X/2X/4X SDR (2.5Gb/s per lane), DDR (5Gb/s per lane), QDR (10Gb/s per lane), FDR10 (10.3125Gb/s per lane), FDR (14.0625Gb/s per lane), EDR (25Gb/s per lane) port |
| Ethernet | 100GBASE-CR4, 100GBASE-KR4, 100GBASE-SR4, 50GBASE-R2, 50GBASE-R4, 40GBASE-CR4, 40GBASE-KR4, 40GBASE-SR4, 40GBASE-LR4, 40GBASE-ER4, 40GBASE-R2, 25GBASE-R, 20GBASE-KR2, 10GBASE-LR,10GBASE-ER, 10GBASE-CX4, 10GBASE-CR, 10GBASE-KR, SGMII, 1000BASE-CX, 1000BASE-KX, 10GBASE-SR |
| Data Rate | • InfiniBand: SDR/DDR/QDR/FDR/EDR • Ethernet: 1/10/25/40/50/100 Gb/s |
| PCI Express Gen3 | SERDES @ 8.0GT/s, 16 lanes (2.0 and 1.1 compatible) Note: PCIe 3.0 x16 bus can supply a maximum bandwidth of 128Gb/s only (=16 * 8GT/s, including overhead), and therefore cannot support 200Gb/s when both network ports of MCX556A-ECAT run at 100Gb/s. |
