PXIe-GbE Networking
Catalyst PXIe-GbE
COTS Single-Slot PXIe/CPCIe High-Performance Ethernet NIC Modules
Catalyst-GbE™ PXIe HPC Ethernet NIC Modules are COTS, single-slot PXIe/CPCIe 4×10, 2×25 & 2×100 GbE NICs. Based on the RADX patent-pending Catalyst-X™ carrier card design with PCIe Gen4 x8 support, Catalyst-GbE integrates NVIDIA® Mellanox® CX6 and Intel® XL710-BM1 PCIe NICs with support for RDMA (iWARP, RoCEv2, GPUDirect), IEEE-1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and IP-sec offload.
4×10, 2×25 & 2×100 GbE Configurations
Catalyst PXIe-GbE is available in three high-performance Ethernet configurations to match your PXIe system's networking requirements. The 4×10 GbE variant (Intel X710) delivers quad 10GbE SFP+ ports for multi-stream data acquisition and distribution. The 2×25 GbE variant (Intel E810) provides dual 25GbE SFP28 ports for higher-throughput applications. The 2×100 GbE variant (NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-6) delivers dual 100GbE QSFP28 ports for the most demanding HPC and data-intensive workloads.
Intel® & NVIDIA® Mellanox® Controllers
All Catalyst PXIe-GbE modules are based on proven, industry-standard PCIe NIC controllers from Intel and NVIDIA Mellanox — the same silicon trusted in enterprise data centers and HPC clusters worldwide. This ensures broad OS and driver support, mature software ecosystems, and long-term availability. Standard vendor drivers are used; no custom RADX drivers are required.
Single-Slot PXIe/CPCIe Form Factor
Catalyst PXIe-GbE occupies a single PXIe/CPCIe slot, preserving valuable chassis real estate for instruments and other peripherals. Compatible with all standard PXIe and CPCIe chassis from NI, Keysight, Pickering, and others. The compact single-slot design makes it easy to add high-speed Ethernet connectivity to any PXIe system without sacrificing multiple slots.
Applications
Catalyst PXIe-GbE is ideal for PXIe test systems requiring high-bandwidth Ethernet connectivity for:
- High-speed data streaming and network traffic generation/analysis
- Electronic Warfare (EW) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) systems
- Distributed test systems requiring high-throughput inter-chassis communication
- Real-time data acquisition and recording over Ethernet
- Communications test and protocol analysis
- Automated Test Equipment (ATE) with networked DUTs
