Does anyone happen to know if the Oracle 7046442 are the 40GbE capable cards? They both say 40GbE in the listing. I believe the MCX354A-FCBT is 40GbE capable. The MCX354A-QCBT only did 10GbE if I recall correctly.

Four for $99: Sun Oracle 7046442 40GbE Dual Port QDR Infiniband PCIe 7092757 7104074

One for $125 obo: Sun Oracle 7046442 40GbE Dual Port QDR Infiniband PCIe HCA Adapter M3 Card

These are the lowest I can find otherwise at $159 Dell 6RKNM Mellanox MCX354A-FCBT CX354A FDR InfiniBand + 40GigE Dual-Port QSFP

Anyone know if the Oracle 7046442 is the -QCBT or the -FCBT model?

@doop wow that might be a great deal. I just picked up 6x ConnectX-3 Pro EN cards for $150 ea. Sometimes a step easier to work with since they are not Infiniband cards. Still $75 is pretty awesome.

Well, yes and no. CX3's are kinda all capable of 40ge - with a little tweaking ;)
Just make sure it's not the a0 silicon - or revA1 (the very first one in the series)
Did a pair of QCBT (that were supposed to be FCAT's , well, ebay ... )
With the right cables and mellanox solution - they'll even do 56GBE
The ones in the picture look like cx3's for sure - and they were rev A3 or something so they should be good.
