Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 10/25GbE SFP28 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter

Two SFP28 ports rated at 10/25GbE sit on the Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx 10/25GbE SFP28 2-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter, part number 4XC7A62580. The controller is an NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx, sold under the earlier Mellanox name in the product title.

The pair of dual-speed ports suits servers that connect to switches running either 10GbE or 25GbE, and it lets you step up later without replacing the card. Dual ports also give you redundancy or separate networks. SFP28 cages take SFP28 modules and direct attach cables, which you buy separately.

The ConnectX-6 Lx controller is the same silicon found in NVIDIA-branded cards, but the Lenovo part number identifies the ThinkSystem-qualified build, which is what a ThinkSystem server specification will normally call for.

The 4XC7A62580 is offered new, refurbished and used. New and refurbished cards carry 1 year or 3 years of warranty, and used cards carry 90 days. Send us your quantity and server model to receive pricing.
