The HPE 877688‑001 (also associated with SKU/CX555A/878578‑001) is a high-performance InfiniBand EDR (100 Gb/s) single-portQSFP28 network adapter optimized for HPC, storage fabrics, and enterprise data centers. Based on Mellanox ConnectX‑5 technology and featuring a PCIe 3.0 ×16 host interface, it delivers ultra-low latency and high-throughput connectivity. Compatible with both InfiniBand and RoCE-based Ethernet fabrics, this compact “stand‑up” form factor adapter integrates seamlessly into dense server environments, making it ideal for accelerating AI/ML workloads, SAN interconnects, and scalable cluster deployments
This adapter supports both InfiniBand EDR and 100 Gb Ethernet protocols via a single QSFP28 port. The Mellanox ConnectX‑5 chipset enables advanced offload features including RDMA, RoCEv2, GPUDirect, and MPI tag‑matching, significantly reducing CPU overhead and improving data transfer efficiency Designed for PCIe 3.0 ×16 slots, its low‑profile “stand‑up” design fits compact server chassis while maintaining optimal thermal performance. It's compatible with HPE ProLiant, Apollo, and similar systems certified for high-speed fabrics.
Engineered to deliver enterprise-grade reliability, the HPE 877688‑001 adapter sustains consistent 100 Gb/s performance with sub‑microsecond latency—critical for HPC, storage, and mission‑critical data center tasks
