DELL - 08P2T2 - Dell Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx EN 100GB Ethernet Card

Overview

The DELL 08P2T2 (Dell Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx EN) is a 100GbE Ethernet network adapter designed for high-throughput server connectivity in data centers and performance-focused compute environments. As a PCIe-based NIC, it is typically used to accelerate east-west traffic, reduce network bottlenecks, and support demanding virtualisation and storage networking designs where consistent bandwidth matters.

For standardised deployments and spare-part strategies, this adapter fits well in Dell server ecosystems and mixed vendor racks. It is commonly paired with upstream network infrastructure such as SWITCH platforms, and can be complemented with optics and cabling options via TRANSCEIVER selections when you are building or refreshing high-speed links.

If you are maintaining modular chassis or expanding I/O options across an installed base, you may also want to align this NIC choice with related components like NETWORK MODULE options to keep connectivity consistent across server and network layers. For broader platform sourcing, see additional refurbished hardware in DELL categories.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics that make this adapter suitable for enterprise server connectivity and scalable network designs:

• 100Gb Ethernet (100GbE) connectivity to support high-bandwidth uplinks for compute, storage, or virtualisation hosts.
• PCIe server adapter form factor to integrate into compatible Dell systems for internal expansion without external appliances.
• ConnectX-6 Dx EN controller family to support low-latency networking for performance-sensitive workloads.
• Hardware offload capabilities typical of enterprise NICs to reduce CPU overhead for networking tasks.
• Advanced traffic handling features to help optimise throughput and application responsiveness under load.
• Support for virtualised environments to help segment and manage network resources across multiple VMs or containers.
• Compatibility with enterprise switching infrastructures to simplify integration into existing data center topologies.
• Designed for 24/7 operation in server environments to maintain reliable connectivity in production racks.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished network adapters are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing server estates, keep standard configurations in service, and reduce electronic waste while controlling upgrade budgets versus buying new.

Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. We are an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware, shipping worldwide from Denmark.
