I am seeing really conflicting information on this Mellanox MHGH29-XTC for $100. He states Ethernet only, yet then in the description it says both IB and 10GbE. My switch uses 10GbE CX4 uplinks. The spec sheet seems to state that it does both as well an the firmware release says "supported protocols: InfiniBand, Ethernet, FCoE, VPI". Now the manual then says "H Adapter Type H = InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter, N = Ethernet Network Interface Card" on page 10. So then how is it both? The G in the model number is supposed to be for CX4. Now from what i have read/heard, CX4 is an ethernet standard and not a physical connector like they are acting it is. The actual connector is just a xaui connector.
What are you guys thoughts? Seems to be a lot of conflicting info. Im lost. If it will really do 10GbE, than its a great deal IMHO.
