Netwerkadapter NVIDIA ConnectX-7 intern glasvezel 50000 Mbit/s PCIe, zwart/grijs

NVIDIA ConnectX-7 Internal Fiber is a wired PCI Express network adapter with a fiber interface and a maximum data transfer rate of 50,000 Mbit/s. Designed for high-throughput server and workstation connectivity, the adapter provides low-latency, high-bandwidth links suitable for data centers, virtualization, high performance computing (HPC) and storage networking. The product comes in a black/grey finish and supports advanced networking and security features for modern cloud and AI workloads.

Advantages

The adapter integrates hardware-accelerated networking and security functions to reduce CPU overhead and improve application performance. It supports fiber connectivity for long-reach, low-interference links and offers deterministic low-latency operation for latency-sensitive workloads. Software-defined and hardware-accelerated capabilities enable offloading of switching, packet processing, and encryption tasks, which helps to lower overall infrastructure cost and simplify deployment in mixed data center environments.

Suitable for

• High-throughput data center interconnects and spine-leaf networks
• Virtualized server farms and cloud infrastructure
• High performance computing clusters and GPU-accelerated workloads
• Storage networking, NVMe over Fabrics and large-scale backup systems
• Secure enterprise networking with in-line encryption/decryption requirements

Key specifications

• Interface: PCI Express (PCIe) card form factor with fiber port
• Maximum data transfer rate: 50,000 Mbit/s (50 Gbit/s)
• Connectivity medium: Optical fiber (single-mode/multi-mode dependent on transceiver)
• Supported features: hardware offload for switching and packet processing, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), GPUDirect Storage support, in-line hardware acceleration for TLS/IPsec/MACsec
• Typical use environments: rack servers, workstations, data center topologies
• Colour: black/grey

How to use

Install the NVIDIA ConnectX-7 Internal Fiber card into an available PCIe slot on a compatible server or workstation following the host system and safety instructions. Connect appropriate fiber transceivers and fiber cabling to the card’s optical port, and ensure transceiver type matches the fiber type and distance requirements. Install NVIDIA drivers and firmware provided by the vendor and configure network settings and offload features through the supported software stack to enable hardware-accelerated functions. Validate link status and performance using standard diagnostic tools and vendor utilities.

Recommendations

Use certified fiber transceivers and high-quality cabling to maintain signal integrity and rated throughput. Keep drivers and firmware up to date to benefit from performance, interoperability, and security improvements. For latency-sensitive or GPU-accelerated workloads, enable RDMA/RoCE and GPUDirect Storage where supported. Follow your data center’s grounding and electrostatic discharge procedures during installation and handle the card by its edges.
