Connectivity Solutions


Features
RHS Thermal Design for High-Demand Cooling
The ConnectX-8 adapter uses the Riding Heat Sink (RHS) with an OSFP connector, where the heat sink rides on top of the cage and is exposed to system fan airflow. This same RHS transceiver is used in liquid-cooled systems to connect GPU/CPU servers to QM3200 switches, meeting the high thermal management demands of modern high-performance computing.

Driving Exceptional Efficiency and Speed in AI Applications.
The ConnectX®-8 SuperNIC offers up to 800Gb/s of total network bandwidth, transforming generative AI workloads and next-generation data center performance for massive-scale AI compute fabrics.
