MTM017962-M, Mellanox Adapter Accessory, Short perforated bracket/2-port SFP+/Fits MCX623102A

The Mellanox (NVIDIA Networking) NVIDIA Mellanox MTM017962-M is a dedicated network accessory bracket designed for NVIDIA ConnectX-6 dual-port SFP+ adapter cards. This short perforated low-profile bracket is ideal for system builders, data center operators, and resellers who need to adapt PCI Express adapters to low-profile server and appliance chassis in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. With precise cutouts for 2 × SFP+ ports and a screw-mount interface, the NVIDIA Mellanox MTM017962-M helps ensure stable installation and proper airflow for high-density deployments. As a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) accessory, it lets distributors and integrators support fast on-site service, reducing downtime when upgrading or reconfiguring servers.

The NVIDIA Mellanox MTM017962-M is purpose-built for NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-6 EN and ConnectX-6 Dx dual-port SFP+ adapters, including models MCX623102A, MCX621102A, and MCX631102A, as well as equivalent short-bracket capable variants. This clear compatibility helps small and mid-size integrators avoid mismatch between cards and brackets, which can otherwise delay deployment or require chassis changes. Its low-profile form factor is especially important in modern 1U and 2U rack servers and compact appliances commonly used in enterprise networks, cloud edge nodes, and carrier environments worldwide.

The perforated metal design of the NVIDIA Mellanox MTM017962-M supports airflow around dual-port SFP+ adapters, which is critical in dense racks where every watt of cooling matters. The bracket keeps both SFP+ cages perfectly aligned with the chassis openings, ensuring reliable cable insertion and long-term mechanical stability. For distributors and service partners, stocking this FRU accessory provides a simple way to standardize on low-profile installations without replacing full adapters. For end users, it offers a practical, low-cost way to reuse existing ConnectX-6 adapters when moving from full-height to low-profile servers or when expanding to new sites with different rack standards.

Because the NVIDIA Mellanox MTM017962-M is a dedicated screw-mount bracket for PCI Express network adapter cards, it integrates seamlessly into standard server build and maintenance workflows. Technicians can swap brackets during scheduled maintenance windows with basic tools, keeping changes quick and predictable across regions and hardware generations. Whether you support a regional data center, a multi-site enterprise, or hosted services, this short perforated low-profile bracket helps maintain consistent adapter installation practices and reduces the risk of mechanical issues in demanding network environments.
