Electrical rating

This table shows the power consumption for an NT100A01-SCC SmartNIC including 4 pluggable modules.

Table 6. Power consumption
Port Speed Power consumption [in W]
NT100A01-SCC 4 × 1 Gbit/s 30
NT100A01-SCC 4 × 10 Gbit/s 38
NT100A01-SCC 4 × 25 Gbit/s 44

Power is measured with capture of a stream with 80% load of 300-byte frames. A sustaining load of 80% with 300-byte frames is representative for maximum real-life scenario. The actual power consumption depends on the FPGA software payload.

The SmartNIC is Class III equipment for supply by SELV circuits only.
