Whats the difference between the XTR and XTC infiniband cards? looking to add some to my ESXI and storage cluster. Is the XTR just a QSFP+ port instead of infiniband cable?

I've been through this before with the Mellanox cards. The magic decoder ring is as follows (from Mellanox docs) ..

Adapter Card part number takes the form of "MHTS#I-XBR" where the fields are as follows

M Mellanox Technologies
H Adapter Type H = InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter, N = Ethernet Network Interface Card
T Media (Q QSFP)
S Adapter Architecture
H = ConnectX®or ConnectX-2
# # ports 1 = 1, 2 = 2
I Host Interface X = PCI-X, 4 = PCIe x4, 8 = PCIe Gen1 x8, 9 = PCIe (Gen2 x8),
G Generation <blank> = Initial product generation, B= generation B, C= generation C
- Separator
X Memory Size X = MemFree, 1=128MB, 2=256MB, 3=512MB
B Bracket S = Short, T = Tall, N = None
R RoHS <blank> = non RoHS, C = RoHS R-5 w/ Exemption, R = RoHS R-6 Lead-Free

So for the prefix "MHQH29"

field M = M to indicate a Mellanox Technologies product,
field H = H to indicate an InfiniBand Adapter Card,
field T = Q to indicate QSFP QDR,
field S = H to indicate the ConnectX family,
field # = 2 to indicate two ports,
field I = 9 to indicate PCI Express 2.0 x8 running at 5.0GT/s,

For the Suffix "XTR"

field X = X to indicate no on-board memory,
field B = T to indicate a tall bracket, and
field R = R to indicate RoHS R-6 Lead-Free

For the Suffix "XTC"

field X = X to indicate no on-board memory,
field B = T to indicate a tall bracket, and
field R = C to indicate RoHS R5 (w/ Exemptions) compliance

So both are 40Gb/s (QDR) with QSFP connectors and tall brackets, the only difference is ROHS

Sorry folks, I'm pulling this ad for now. I am swamped and won't have a chance to relist this for a few weeks.
