Gigabyte Shows Quad 10GbE SFP28 LAN ports card
Gigabyte has released a four port 10 Gigabit LAN card "CLN4M34" based on a Mellanox ConnectX-4 chip. The card makes use of an x16 PCI Express bus interface.
While there is very little to report on the card, the interesting thing remains to be the use of a fairly unknown IC, the Mellanox ConnectX-4". The network card itself is actively cooled with a small fan, the network interface is fitted with SFP 28 x 4. Optics like SFP+ is commonly used for 10G transmission.
- 4 x 10GbE SFP28 LAN ports
- Mellanox ConnectX-4
- PCIe x16 (Gen3 x16 bus)
- MD2 low profile type
- 130 x 68.9 mm
The card size is 130 × 68.9 mm. Two kinds of brackets are included so it can be used both full height and low profile inside 1U servers.

Guess Hilbert Hagedoorn doesnt know much about networking hardware. "fairly unknown IC". lol. Mellanox is one of the biggest names in networking there is.
This is great news that Gigabyte is doing this. SFP+ is only used for up to 10 gigabit, so there is no point in pushing it as a new connection format for home users or businesses moving into that speed category. SFP28 supports up into 25 gigabit, so you will already have the cables from using this card for future upgrades as well

The chipset supports 100GBe; there is CLN4C44, which have 4x25GBe ports, also in SFP28 format.
But... the price for Mellanox... huh!

It's quite obvious the article is referring to the their "ConnectX-4" adapter used and not "Mellanox" in general.
A little courtesy goes a long way but yeah, keep posting the good stuff.

The guy obviously can't read to save his life. Because HH explicitly refers to the chip itself, and not the company; not once but twice!
