Scalable mGig NICs and SFP+ Modules

Marvell Scalable mGig Network Interface Cards (NICs) are based on the award-winning Aquantia AQtion Ethernet controllers. These products deliver mGig connectivity of up to 10GbE for PCs and professional workstations – a level of network performance that was previously only available in servers. These add-in boards are ideally suited for high-performance systems for enterprise applications, cloud gaming, carrier networking, industrial and a variety of data-intensive use cases.

• 10Gb Copper (RJ45) as well as SFP+ Ethernet NICs
• Most efficient 10GbE NICs for easy upgrade of existing systems
• Broad Windows, Linux, DPDK, VMware and Mac OS driver support
• SFP+ Copper modules to convert SFP+ port into 10Gb or Multi-Gig Copper (RJ45) port

Scalable mGig Controllers

Scalable mGig Controllers based on Aquantia AQtion architecture are the most efficient PCI Express Ethernet controllers that offer network speeds greater than 1Gbps. These mGig and 10GbE products are suitable for a variety of performance platforms. Common applications include LAN on motherboard in workstation and desktop platforms, 5G and other carrier CPEs, network attached storage, docking stations and other performance platforms. Scalable mGig controllers incorporate industry-proven AQrate PHY technology which enables the delivery of mGig Ethernet over copper cabling. They are compliant to the IEEE 802.3bz standard and are backward-compatible with legacy 1000BASE-T Ethernet.

• Single-port integrated PCIe, MAC, and PHY solutions
• Power-efficient, space-efficient and pin-compatible 10Gb, 5Gb and 2.5Gb Ethernet controllers
• PCIe Gen3 and Gen2 interface with x1/x2/x4 lane-widths delivering maximum flexibility
• Hardware root of trust and MACsec capabilities for security sensitive applications
• IEEE® 802.3bz compliant with 10GBASE-T/5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX support
• Energy-efficient Ethernet, Wake On LAN, and power management features
